Do you offer virtual counseling?
Yes. Courage To Change Counseling provides secure, confidential online counseling services for clients throughout North Carolina. Virtual sessions allow you to receive support from the comfort and privacy of your own home while still building a meaningful therapeutic relationship.
Many clients find telehealth counseling more convenient and easier to maintain consistently, especially when balancing work, family responsibilities, or recovery commitments.
What issues do you help with?
Courtney specializes in supporting individuals who are navigating challenges related to substance use, including alcohol use, drug misuse, relapse patterns, and recovery planning. Counseling also addresses the emotional and life experiences that often accompany addiction, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem.
Whether you are just beginning to question your substance use or are already working toward long-term recovery, support is available at every stage of the process.
Do you accept insurance?
Courage To Change Counseling accepts Aetna and BlueCross BlueShield. Out-of-network clients are also welcome, and documentation can be provided if you wish to seek reimbursement through your insurance provider.
If you are unsure about your coverage, you are encouraged to reach out before scheduling so we can help you understand your options.
Do you work with families?
Yes. Addiction affects not only the individual but also the people closest to them. Couples and family involvement sessions can help improve communication, rebuild trust, and create a stronger support system for recovery.
These sessions are available when appropriate and can be incorporated into treatment as part of a collaborative healing process.
What age groups do you serve?
Services are available for teens, adults, and older adults. Counseling is tailored to each person’s stage of life, experiences, and goals for recovery.
Whether someone is early in their substance use journey or has struggled for many years, support can be adapted to meet their needs.
Do I need to be sober before starting counseling?
No. You do not need to be fully sober to begin counseling. Many people start therapy while they are still trying to understand their relationship with substances or preparing to make changes.
Counseling can help you explore your goals, reduce harm, and move toward recovery at a pace that feels realistic and supportive.
How long does counseling usually last?
The length of counseling varies depending on your needs, goals, and preferences. Some clients benefit from short-term support focused on specific challenges, while others choose ongoing therapy as part of their long-term recovery plan.
Treatment is always individualized and adjusted over time.
Is counseling confidential?
Yes. Counseling sessions are private and confidential, with limited exceptions required by law for safety concerns. Confidentiality allows you to speak openly and honestly in a supportive environment.
If you have questions about privacy, they can be discussed during your consultation.
Do you provide referrals for medication support if needed?
Yes. When appropriate, referrals can be made for medication management or additional recovery services as part of a comprehensive support plan.
