Kourteni Henderson, LPC

Kourteni Henderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Louisiana. She brings five years of experience to her work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation problems. She aims to make the first step toward change feel less intimidating. Henderson creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Conversations are direct and practical, with attention to everyday challenges. She listens closely and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize each person’s goals and pace. Together, those methods guide short-term coping and longer-term change. Areas of focus include relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career issues, addictions, bipolar and ADHD-related struggles, and identity questions such as LGBT concerns. Additional topics she addresses include body image, impulsivity, isolation, and life purpose. Sessions are practical and goal oriented. Clients can expect straightforward talk, skill-building, and collaborative problem-solving. Kourteni supports people as they try new habits, rethink unhelpful thoughts, and take small steps toward a more manageable life.

How CBT and Client-Centered Care Work Online

Kinetic tools from cognitive behavioral therapy help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. In online sessions this often looks like identifying a worry, testing whether it fits the facts, and practicing alternative responses to reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and respected. The therapist follows each client's goals and pace, offering reflection and support rather than directing every step. This style works well for people who need validation alongside practical tools.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match goals, whether that means skill-building for anxiety or open conversation about identity and relationships. Clients help set priorities and try methods that suit them.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer weekly sessions and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a screen-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family life, or tight schedules while maintaining regular contact with licensed professionals.
