About Courtney

Courtney Burrus, LPC, brings twelve years of clinical experience to her work with people facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She blends a person-centered stance with pragmatic, evidence-informed tools to help clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes compassion and curiosity as foundations for healing and growth. Building on approaches such as Internal Family Systems and cognitive-behavioral techniques, she supports clients in improving communication, addressing intimacy-related struggles, and resolving patterns tied to family of origin or attachment wounds.

Courtney also works with issues like addiction, grief, eating and body-image concerns, parenting and fatherhood questions, and the stresses that accompany chronic illness or caregiving. Clients can expect a collaborative process that focuses on developing self-understanding, healthier emotional habits, and practical coping strategies.

Licensed in Texas (TX LPC 73468), she offers services through multiple online formats and tailors interventions to each person’s needs. Courtney aims to create an accepting, nonjudgmental space where people can explore identity, purpose, and change at a pace that feels manageable.

Bringing IFS and Practical Therapies to Online Care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to understand and relate to their inner parts with curiosity and compassion, helping to unblend reactive parts from a core sense of self and address patterns rooted in past experiences. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional regard, creating a space where people can explore their feelings and values without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with structured strategies that can reduce anxiety and depression and build practical skills for coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and current concerns, adjusting techniques over time to match progress and changing needs.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Texas without commuting, allow for more immediate check-ins when helpful, and support a steady therapeutic rhythm that can reinforce skill-building and ongoing reflection.
