How her approaches inform online therapy

Kourtney blends person-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help people manage thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns. Person-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities while offering steady, nonjudgmental support. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts influence behavior and helps people practice new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety or improve communication. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises to lower reactivity and improve focus.

Deciding which approach to use is a team process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions emphasize skills practice, short-term problem solving, or deeper exploration of relationship patterns.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support consistent weekly work. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively over distance while helping clients build practical skills they can use between sessions.
