Courtney Szabo

Courtney Szabo welcomes people who are taking the brave step of seeking counseling and joins them as they begin work toward change. With six years of clinical experience, she helps clients build the skills to manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviors more effectively as the change process unfolds.

She prefers meeting people in settings where they feel comfortable and safe, believing that progress is more likely when the environment supports clients. Her practice includes work with survivors of trauma and abuse, people experiencing depression and anxiety, and those needing support with parenting and life transitions such as relationship stress, career changes, or relocation.

Courtney communicates in a manner that is direct, caring, and supportive, and remains focused on each person’s unique goals. She uses an integrative approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, psychoanalytic ideas, and educational strategies, tailoring techniques to fit the client’s needs and therapy objectives.

Her orientation is client-centered, grounded in the belief that each individual is the expert on their own experience. She is a licensed independent social worker in Ohio, holding an LISW credential (license I.1901862), and she applies that training to guide practical, individualized change.
