About Courtney

Courtney Towne is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Oregon who brings seven years of direct clinical practice to her online work. She uses a relaxed, strengths-focused style that helps people talk through stress, anxiety, parenting questions, grief, and relationship concerns. Her manner is calm and approachable, and she makes space for humor alongside serious conversations.

Courtney often pairs hands-on strategies with motivational coaching to help people make clear steps toward change.

Background and approach

She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with more useful habits. That combination can ease symptoms of depression, tackle work-related stress, and support life transitions. She also addresses topics like blended family issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and multicultural or discrimination-related stress.

Courtney supports people facing trauma, anger, or identity questions including LGBT concerns, and she helps with career and life-purpose exploration. Her background includes both clinical practice and supervision roles, which shaped how she plans treatment and mentors newer clinicians. In sessions she focuses on realistic goals and practical tools that people can use between meetings.

People who work with her can expect clear, down-to-earth conversations about next steps. She listens for strengths, helps set short-term goals, and checks progress as therapy moves forward.

Online support

How CBT and Motivational Interviewing work online

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on clarifying goals, exploring ambivalence, and building commitment to small steps forward. This can be useful for starting new habits, addressing work or relationship goals, or tackling life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In short sessions you might identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to test different beliefs. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and ways of coping with everyday problems.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Plans are adjusted together as progress and needs become clearer.

Online formats make it easier to fit work into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be simpler to arrange during a break. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility and can help people keep therapy consistent despite a changing schedule.
