More about Courtney

  • 18 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

Hello! My name is Courtney Tallman and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State and have been practicing since 2003, since graduating with a Master’s degree from the University of West Georgia. I have 16 years of experience working in the behavioral health field in a variety of settings including community mental health, hospital systems, insurance, and private practice. I have worked with multiple populations including children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My specialties include stress and anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, trauma, parenting and family issues, addiction issues, and more.

My basic theoretical orientation includes a Person-Centered approach to therapy, creating an open non-judgmental space to empower and motivate you to realize your potential and make the changes that you are here to make. I believe that the collaborative therapeutic relationship between patient and therapist is the primary vehicle for healing. I utilize treatment techniques and theory from a variety of modalities including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and other evidenced based practices to guide you in establishing new coping skills and developing increased awareness about yourself and relationships with others.

I enjoy helping people through challenging situations. Part of my job is to help you identify what is working well and what is not working so well. Together we will come up with recommendations that seem doable to help you reach your goals. I appreciate the opportunity to guide you on this journey of self-discovery and healing.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

BetterHelp did a great thing pairing me with Courtney! Expressing my concerns and my experiences with therapy in the past helped her lay out a foundation that has really started to work for me. I appreciate how there is constant communication and even if I haven’t been active she sends a short message to let me know she’s there for me. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that specifically.

Courtney meets me where I’m at every time we meet and works from there, it is incredibly helpful to be whatever version of myself I am currently and work with that for the session.

Courtney is very attentive and engaging. She pings me often without making me feel like I have to respond but I do because of how she approaches conversations. She is able to open me up and encourages me to discuss difficult things, which is why I'm here.

Courtney has been very helpful in the short time I’ve been working with her. She gently reminds me that she is here for me and willing to talk anytime. It’s not instant, but she always responds quickly and lets me know that my silence is okay. The reassurance that I’m not ‘doing therapy wrong’ is really amazing to have. I’m looking forward to seeing working with her more.

I was hesitant when I first started using BetterHelp, but Courtney made it so easy for me to open up to. I’ve only been talking to her for 2.5 months and she’s the only therapist I’ve ever had, but I am so so lucky to have gotten her!! She’s amazing, really good listener, and she’s very attentive to the way I speak. Which I think is wonderful because I have learned more about myself and my healing process because of this. I have seen my life improve so much over the past 2 months. She always provides very helpful and informative information depending on my needs and what she thinks is helpful. I appreciate her so much!!

I'm happy that I was matched with Courtney; she is wonderful and makes me feel supported comfortable. She definitely cares and that shows during our sessions: she gives me her undivided attention and lets me talk, or when she brings up things that were said/happened a week or two ago. She also replies regularly, I do wish that the (30 min) sessions were longer and were easier to book at least weekly. I feel that the 30 min. is not enough, but I really like Courtney, so I will continue working with her.

Reviewed August 2020

Courtney is great! Most attentive therapist I have ever had! She is really good at reflecting back statements I make and asking really good investigative questions to help me in exploring my inner world and what is going on with me internally. The only thing is that it is hard to get enough sessions in with her as they are booked way out and each one only provides a half hour of time :/
