About Courtney

Courtney Towne is an LCSW licensed in Oregon who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. She brings a relaxed style to sessions and believes change can come through honesty, humor, and real conversation. She has seven years of direct clinical experience alongside many more years supervising programs and clinicians.

Her work leans on straightforward approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address problems people bring into therapy. She helps with self esteem, stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, and workplace or relationship strain. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, blended family issues, and questions around life purpose.

Courtney emphasizes a strengths-based view. That means noticing what already works and building from there. She balances practical tools with space to talk about feelings, guilt, shame, and identity-related stressors, including experiences of prejudice and discrimination.

Her background includes supervising other clinicians and running counseling programs, which informs a steady, organized approach in sessions. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to everyday life. People can expect clear, goal-focused conversations that still leave room for warmth and occasional lightness.

If someone is considering starting therapy, she invites them to share what matters most and to set small, achievable steps together.

How CBT and Motivational Interviewing Translate to Online Work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical steps and behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, self esteem concerns, and stress by teaching skills to shift thinking and behavior. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people clarify what they want and build motivation for change; it works well for goal-setting, career shifts, and habit changes.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Courtney will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors conversations and exercises so clients can try things that feel doable and relevant to daily life.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include scheduling that fits around work or parenting, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to join sessions without traveling. The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In any case, online sessions aim to make therapy easier to fit into real routines while still focusing on clear skills and measurable progress.
