Dr. Nanesha Courtney is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of clinical experience who combines practical skill with an open-minded, individualized approach to care. She also holds certifications in rehabilitation counseling and disability management, and she has deep experience addressing chronic pain, vocational concerns, depression, anxiety, and related medical conditions.
She draws on Choice Theory, education, mindfulness, and other evidence-based practices to help people manage pain, stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Dr. Courtney is trained in EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - a highly regarded trauma intervention, and she collaborates with clients to develop coping strategies that fit their lives.
Her practice has included work with adolescents and adults across the lifespan, from about 16 to 85 years old, and she has supported people facing bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, PTSD, abuse and trauma of many kinds (sexual, verbal, physical, and emotional), teen challenges, school and work stress, and grief. She aims to help clients become more adaptive, healthier, and happier through practical, team-based work.
Dr. Courtney is licensed in Washington and currently lives in Kentucky. She is available for video, phone, and live chat sessions, with response hours concentrated on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm - those are the times she responds to messages, while live session hours may vary depending on the day.
Many people ask whether remote therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparably effective to in-person care for most individuals.
A major benefit is scheduling flexibility - you can meet with a therapist in the format that suits you best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or messaging within an app. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine.
Therapists who offer remote care are licensed professionals, and if at any point you feel a different clinician would be a better fit you are free to switch. Online therapy can therefore provide effective support while accommodating the practical needs of everyday life.
