Episode 16: Empowered, Intentional, and Virtual: A New Era of School Psychology

In this episode, I’m joined by Courtney Johnson, a virtual school psychologist and wellness mentor who’s redefining what it means to serve students and families with boldness, intention, and care. Courtney shares her inspiring transition from traditional school settings to the virtual space and how this shift has empowered her to show up more holistically—for both the families she supports and herself.

We dive into:

• Courtney’s path into school psychology and what led her to go remote
• The surprising benefits of virtual work (professionally and personally)
• Practical advice for anyone curious about remote school psych roles
• How working virtually has deepened her connection with families—and allowed for more transparency around IEPs, special education rights, and school system limitations
• Her passion for whole-person wellness, and the daily routines that keep her grounded
• Her message of empowerment to both parents and professionals navigating the world of special education

This conversation is packed with insight, encouragement, and real talk. Whether you're a parent, educator, or school psych yourself, you’ll walk away with fresh perspective and renewed purpose.
