Courtney Mayfield, LPC

Courtney Mayfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on everyday problems like parenting strain, relationship conflict, grief, and mood challenges. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at practical steps a person can use between sessions.

Courtney blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered conversations to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and motivational interviewing to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change. Sessions are focused and collaborative, with short-term strategies and longer-term skill building when needed.

People meet Courtney to work on communication problems, codependency, attachment concerns, or transitions such as divorce and postpartum adjustment. She also supports those coping with trauma, obsessive thoughts, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD-related struggles, and caregiver stress. Her work often centers on improving daily routines, managing impulses, and rebuilding a sense of purpose.

In session she listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals. Homework is practical and brief, like testing a new way to speak up or trying a short mindfulness exercise. Progress is measured in concrete steps rather than broad promises.

Courtney practices in Texas and conducts work in English. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people gain immediate tools while also addressing deeper patterns over time.

Approaches that translate well to online care

CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Online sessions make it easy to work on practical skills like thought records, activity scheduling, and testing small behavioral experiments between meetings.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and a supportive relationship. In remote sessions this looks like careful reflection, empathy, and checking in about what feels most useful to the person in the moment.

Meditation-based practices from mindfulness therapy teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity. These exercises are easy to learn over video or by text prompts and can be practiced in short daily moments.

Courtney sees finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process happens across formats and stays focused on doable steps.

Online work offers flexibility for busy days and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between sessions. These options let people choose what fits their schedule and energy while still working toward meaningful change.
