About Courtney
Courtney Towne is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - licensed in Oregon with seven years of direct clinical practice. She combines practical strategies with clear conversation to help people work on parenting, stress, anxiety, anger, relationship problems, and life transitions.
She has broader experience from many years overseeing counseling programs and supervising clinicians. That background influences how she organizes sessions - with structure and attention to what needs to change day to day. Expect straightforward work focused on skills, insight, and small experiments to test what helps.
Courtney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and break patterns that keep problems stuck. She also applies Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters and take steps that match their priorities. Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and practical rather than theoretical.
People come to her for issues like parenting stress, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, workplace strain, and challenges related to identity or discrimination. She also supports those sorting out career shifts, blended family concerns, or communication and commitment questions.
Her style is laid back and direct. She values plain talk and occasional humor to loosen tension and keep the work doable. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Courtney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing in a practical way. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to spot patterns that keep anger and stress going, and then tries small changes to see if things shift. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person clarify what matters, resolve mixed feelings, and choose steps they feel able to try.Choosing the right method is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what the client finds helpful. That makes sessions more work-focused and easier to measure over time.
Confirm session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten the time needed for appointments, and allow for quieter surroundings or reduced travel. These practical benefits can help people practice new skills between meetings and apply them where daily frustrations and relationships actually happen.
