Courtney Krolikowski

Courtney Krolikowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with eight years of counseling experience. She offers a person-centered approach that keeps the client in the lead. Her style is practical and goal-focused, so people leave sessions with clear next steps they can try between meetings.

She earned a master's degree in clinical psychology from Benedictine University in Illinois. Courtney has practiced in multiple states and currently lives in Wisconsin. Over her career she has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, eating concerns, and trauma-related difficulties.

Courtney has provided care for survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence, people referred for anger-management and parenting classes, and those seeking trauma counseling. She also has experience supporting people who identify as LGBTQ and those from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds.

Her way of working centers on the person's goals. Clients set the direction and she offers tools and strategies to reach those goals. Sessions mix listening, skill-building, and concrete suggestions that fit everyday life.

She describes the therapeutic relationship as a partnership: the client drives and the therapist guides. That setup is suited to people looking for practical help with stress, relationship concerns, career pressure, grief, addiction challenges, coping with life changes, and related issues.

Evidence-informed methods and online support

Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a person-centered style to help people reach practical goals. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. This is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress, sleep and some eating- and substance-related concerns. Trauma-focused approaches concentrate on stabilizing symptoms, building coping skills, and addressing difficult memories in a paced way. That work can help people recovering from abuse or other traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Courtney collaborates with each person to find what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what has helped before and try tools that match the problem and the person's comfort level.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, keeping appointments during travel, and reducing time spent commuting. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the available options before booking. Many people appreciate that remote work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what fits their life.
