About Courtney

Courtney Towne is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in Oregon with seven years of direct clinical experience. She brings a strengths-based, relaxed style to sessions. Her tone is approachable and she often uses gentle humor when appropriate to ease difficult conversations.

She focuses on parenting, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career matters, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing blended family issues, commitment concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

Courtney uses practical methods that help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that contribute to distress. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change.

Her background includes seven years of direct clinical work and additional experience supervising clinicians and overseeing counseling programs. That mix gives her familiarity with both hands-on counseling and program-level perspectives.

In sessions she aims for a relaxed, strengths-focused space where people can be honest and take small steps forward. She invites open conversation about goals and works with each person to create manageable, real-world plans. If you want to explore next steps, she encourages using the Start Therapy process to begin the match and scheduling process.

How CBT and Motivational Interviewing Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change how they feel. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with everyday routines. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people find their own motivation to make changes, particularly around goals like parenting, career steps, or coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. From there they decide jointly whether CBT, Motivational Interviewing, or a mix fits best, and adjust as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also let someone choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or use formats that reduce camera time if that is preferred. Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking to make sure they match your needs and schedule.
