Courtney Meder

Courtney Meder is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with seven years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Her approach is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion for each person who reaches out.

Courtney adapts conversations and treatment plans to match what each client needs. She emphasizes practical steps you can use between sessions. She also supports people exploring sexuality, including BDSM and kink, and those navigating chronic pain, illness, or disability.

Clients come for a mix of worries - panic attacks, social anxiety, commitment questions, or struggles with self-love. Courtney works with issues like infidelity, family problems, and questions about life purpose. She lists women’s issues among her focuses and offers care that acknowledges those concerns.

Her clinical tools include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These approaches guide how she structures sessions and teaches coping skills.

Courtney notes that she will not provide couples therapy. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values and can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for panic, social anxiety, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, using empathic listening to help people find their own solutions and build self-acceptance.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from another room. They also allow for shorter check-ins when that is most helpful and let people participate without being on camera if they prefer. Ask about available formats when you schedule to find what will work best for you.
