Hi there! I'm Courtney Goolsby, an LPC in the state of Virginia. I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years and truly love assisting in the creation of change. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and communication challenges.
I hold a Bachelors of Social Work (BSW) from Christopher Newport University and a Masters in Social Work (MSW) with a clinical concentration from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). I have been practicing in the field of social work since 2015. My initial focus was child welfare working with children in foster care until I transitioned to outpatient mental health therapy.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on treating acute and relational trauma with teens, individuals, and couples. I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 15 years. I believe that we heal in relationship to another, rather than trying to do it all alone. My style is warm, attentive and an active participant in your healing journey.
I have practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2012 and I also hold the license for Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner.
I have spent 5 years working with individuals navigating narcissistic abuse, intimate relationship conflict, complex trauma, life transitions, chronic anxiety, neurodivergence, depression, BPD, grief, bipolar disorder, addiction, vocational stress, and more. My experience has taught me that while every person’s story is unique, our need for connection and agency is universal.
I hold a Master’s in Community Agency Counseling from Hampton University. Beyond my formal education, I am deeply committed to ongoing training in neurobiology and trauma-informed care. This means I don't just look at your thoughts—I look at how your nervous system is responding to the world around you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Roanoke, VA
Searching for therapists in Roanoke starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support for. Roanoke therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and background align with your needs. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Roanoke, local appointment options may vary by specialty, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Virginia. When narrowing your options, consider whether you prefer in-person care, virtual sessions, evening availability, or a free phone consultation before booking. Reading therapist profiles can also show how each person describes their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns similar to yours.
Therapy in Roanoke can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and list their availability. You can compare profiles, check estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
