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.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She helps me a lot especially in releasing anxiety
Courtney has been very wonderful to me and has listened and guided me. I’ve been using this service for 8-10 months and I’ve noticed a big improvement from where my life was heading emotionally. I’ve been able to trust and open up in detail which makes me very comfortable.
Attentive and gives me homework! Great!

Courtney is great!
Courtney Tallman is great and she has really made me feel supported and listened to. It feels like she really believes in me and is there for me and that has helped me a lot. She has helped me set goals and work towards things without them feeling impossible.
I have been working with Courtney for over two years now, & she has been a god send for me. She is an amazing therapist with a lot of expertise & is always sending me useful information even outside of our sessions. I would recommend her to anyone!
Wonderful therapist. She approaches therapy in a caring but not coddling nature. She has helped me address some of my concerns head and, and I feel very prepared to make practical changes to my life and way of thinking.
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 incredible skilled in what she does. I always have such a sense of relief after speaking with her. She is thoughtful and knows exactly how to help! I couldn’t recommend her enough
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.
She's been a wonderful person to get help from!!!! I would highly highly recommend her because she listens to what my concerns and my worries are and helps me get thru them!!! THANK YOU COURTNEY!!!!
Courtney is a 10/10 she takes time to understand the problem and help you woke through it. She is very responsive and provides very useful information that pertains to each situation you’re going through. I would highly recommend her!
Courtney is so kind and accepting. She makes me feel comfortable to express my thoughts and feelings without any judgement. She also provides helpful things to try in a way that isn't discouraging. She is amazing!
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’ve really enjoyed working with Courtney because she offers a perfect balance between taking the time to hear me out and also ensuring she gives at least one piece of actionable guidance every time we talk.
Courtney is wonderful! She has changed my life!
Absolutely amazing. Would 100% recommend. I have a habit of overthinking and Courtney brings me back into reality and gives me tangible ways to make change in my life. I’ve felt much more clear headed since I started working with her. She’s great at what she does!
Courtney is wonderful!!! I feel completely at ease when talking to her and feel like she's got my back. She provides constructive feedback and is always trying to help me get to the root of my problems or simply helps me think about them from a different perspective. A fresh set of eyes and an objective viewpoint can be very powerful. Thank you, Courtney, you're awesome!!!
Courtney really tries to listen and give good feedback as well as other materials that could possibly help with what I currently have going on. Sadly I wish my insurance would grant more than a half hour talk session.
She’s very intuitive and listens to me, helps me find ways to cope with my anxiety
Courtney has provided relevant information to help me cope with daily stressors as well as events that have caused bouts of anxiety.
Courtney has been amazing. She makes you feel like you can get through anything. She listens, responds and provides tips and guidance on how to feel better and teaches you techniques to use in any situation. I'm incredibly thankful for her and look forward to continuing our work.
Courtney is the opposite of what I expected from an online counseling service. She is warm, understanding and close. She responds quickly and has a good balance of listening and recommending worksheets to grow.
I appreciate that Courtney listens to me and always has tips to help me. I have become more open and have seen a difference in myself and my actions. She's full of advice that I really needed!
Courtney has helped me so much. I was in a pretty bad spot when I reached out to her, I wasn't eating or sleeping. She was able to help me identify the problem and gave me the tools I needed to get out of that dark place. I am so happy that she was chosen for me. I feel so much better. We still meet to go through my day and how I got to that place to begin with. I can't explain how thankful I am for her.
Courtney is amazing! She is so sweet and supportive. She responds to messages quickly and it amazes me that she's available so early in the morning and so late into the evening!
She has been a breath of fresh air I know I still have ways to go but she has helped me in the short weeks through what I have been through.
Courtney is incredibly easy to connect with. She offers valuable and actionable insights and guidance, which I appreciate. And she encourages regular communication between our sessions. I feel incredibly supported by Courtney and am learning more about myself thanks to her expertise.
Courtney is great
Courtney is so wonderful! I've been with her for a few weeks and my life has changed so much. My kids and my husband all notice a difference in my behavior already! With her advice and her encouragement I've been able to take the steps to making healthy choices for my mental health
Courtney is freaking amazing! She responds quickly, she is always there, she notices patterns and asks amazing questions. I'm so lucky to be matched with her. -AK
She has been very supportive offering good insight and asking questions to make sure she understands what I’m getting at. Her recaps of our session have been helpful as well as the exercises she has sent and articles with tips on general well being. It has been helpful to have a listening ear and get her perspective and wisdom in handling some tough situations going on in my life.
Courtney always makes me feel better. I usually message her when I'm not having a good day (so she really see's the worst side of me) and she is always kind, helpful and patient. It's nice to have a resource to reach out to who I know will help me mentally. Really appreciate Courtney.
Courtney was a fantastic counselor to work with! I always felt safe and comfortable during our sessions, and she was able to challenge me in a good way in terms of evaluating my own thoughts and actions. She was very encouraging and positive, and responsive to my messages outside of our sessions. I have made lots of progress internally since seeing her.
I think Courtney has been great so far. I only wished my sessions with her were covered by insurance.
Very compassionate and kind. Ready to help and timely responses.
Courtney is an amazing counselor. She’s super responsive, and always gets back to me really quickly. I always love the worksheets and articles she sends me, and find them super useful and helpful. I would totally recommend her.
Courtney is a very caring and compassionate listener who tries many different methods in order to help you.
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.
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 :/
Courtney is wonderful. She truly listens and lets me vent through the struggles I am going through daily and in life. She walks me through how to navigate them and also that she believes I am a strong and resilient person. She is an amazing counselor and am glad I was matched with her to counsel me.
