Courtney Meder, LPCC

Courtney Meder is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with seven years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, or problems with intimacy. Her tone is respectful and direct, and she aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

Courtney adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation. She listens first, then helps set simple, achievable goals. Sessions are practical and grounded, with attention to how feelings show up in daily life and relationships.

Her work draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, along with client-centered and dialectical behavior strategies. That mix lets her help people notice unhelpful thinking, try new coping skills, and clarify personal values.

She also offers focused help around sexuality, intimacy, and nontraditional sexual cultures including BDSM and kink. Other areas she addresses include chronic pain or illness, commitment worries, infidelity, panic attacks, and social anxiety.

Courtney makes room for hard stories about loss and trauma while keeping sessions practical. She does not provide couples therapy; individual sessions concentrate on one person’s healing and growth. If someone wants clear tools and thoughtful conversation, she works to make progress feel real and doable.

Online approaches that fit daily life

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood and then try different, more helpful behaviors. It often includes short exercises to practice between sessions and works well for panic, social anxiety, and stress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on what matters most to you and on building small habits that match those values, even when emotions are hard. It can be useful for grief, chronic illness, and when worry gets in the way of doing what you care about.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to choose strategies based on your goals, preferences, and what you want to change. That may mean blending CBT skill practice with ACT values work or using client-centered conversation and DBT-style coping tools when needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, a quieter evening, or a day when going out is difficult.
