About Courtney
Courtney Meder is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related challenges. The biography notes she also addresses life purpose questions and a range of sexual and health-related issues such as BDSM and kink, chronic pain or illness, and sexuality.
She does not offer couples therapy, though she does help individuals who are navigating relationship problems or infidelity. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect direct discussion about what is happening now and what feels out of balance in everyday life.
Courtney uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She draws on these methods to help people name patterns, manage difficult feelings, and make choices that match their values. Work often includes skills practice, thought work, and values clarification.
People bring a wide range of concerns to her practice, from panic attacks and social anxiety to somatic symptoms and commitment worries. She offers attention to topics some clinicians avoid, such as alternative sex culture and intimacy-related challenges. Her stated approach is to adapt conversations and plans to each person’s needs.
For someone feeling stuck after a job change, breakup, health issue, or loss, she provides steady, focused sessions aimed at sorting priorities and next steps. The emphasis is on practical movement rather than promises of quick answers.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is often useful for anxiety, avoidance, and questions about life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for panic, social anxiety, and persistent worry by teaching practical skills for shifting responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which combination of methods fits the person’s needs and goals. That may include trying different techniques and noting what helps in daily life.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting appointments around work or caregiving, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats use less bandwidth or avoid video when that makes sessions easier to manage. Talk through your preferences during the matching questionnaire to choose a setup that fits everyday life.
