Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox, LCSW

Courtney Brooke Sergent-Fox is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She speaks plainly with clients and focuses on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable. She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and supports people through that first step.

With a decade of clinical experience, Courtney draws on several approaches to match each person's needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different coping habits. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help people slow down and notice what is happening in the moment.

Courtney believes clients know their own stories and brings a collaborative attitude to sessions. She helps people identify strengths and small changes that add up over time. Work often includes setting clear, achievable goals and checking progress together.

She has worked with concerns such as relationships, career challenges, grief, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include body image, communication problems, first responder issues, money and financial stress, self-love, social anxiety, and women’s issues.

Courtney holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and practices in Kentucky. She uses approachable language and short-term tools alongside deeper work when helpful.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking that increase stress and anxiety and offers concrete exercises to change those patterns. It is useful for tackling worry, social anxiety, and workplace stress. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - focuses on reducing the intensity of distress tied to past events by using guided processing and bilateral stimulation; people often use it for trauma-related memories and strong emotional reactions.

Choosing the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approach fits their goals and comfort level. That decision is based on needs, preferences, and how a person responds in early sessions, and it can change over time as work progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue momentum during life transitions or when juggling work and family tasks. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness tools to an online setting so practical skills can be practiced between sessions.
