About Courtney
Courtney Towne is an LCSW licensed in Oregon with seven years of direct clinical experience. She works with concerns such as parenting, stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and depression. Her background also notes experience with trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, and workplace and career concerns.
Courtney uses practical, down-to-earth conversation rather than heavy theory. She favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people change unhelpful thoughts and find motivation to try new behaviors. Sessions can include straightforward goal setting and small steps clients can try between meetings.
Her earlier career included supervising clinicians and overseeing counseling programs, which shaped how she organizes care and follows progress. That experience feeds into clear planning during sessions and attention to measurable change over time.
She has worked with family-related concerns and lists blended family issues among her focuses. She helps people talk through communication problems, commitment worries, guilt and shame, and the strains that come with merging households.
Courtney keeps a relaxed tone in sessions and sometimes uses humor to ease hard conversations. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people set practical next steps.

How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing work online
CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and find internal reasons to make changes; it is useful for commitment issues, career shifts, and behavior change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest whether CBT, Motivational Interviewing, or a mix makes sense. That choice is adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

Online sessions can make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also make it easier to keep continuity when life or work moves around. Licensed professionals aim to match session length and pacing to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
