About Kourtney

Kourtney Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a person-centered approach to help people make practical changes. She focuses on building strengths, setting clear goals, and working at a steady pace that feels manageable. Her style is patient and straightforward, aimed at helping someone regain a sense of control and balance in daily life.

She draws on several evidence-based methods to address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction concerns.

Background and approach

Sessions often include developing coping skills, improving communication, and planning small, achievable steps toward recovery or growth. Kourtney emphasizes acceptance while also encouraging action when it helps a person move forward. With seven years of clinical experience, she brings a calm, steady presence to sessions.

Her background includes training in Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches are used to tailor work to each person’s needs and goals. Kourtney has a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Albany State University.

She holds GA LPC LPC011176 as her credential. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns related to family and parenting, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar challenges, anger, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She works with people who want clear, doable steps and respectful, person-centered support.

Practical approaches for online therapy and parenting concerns

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with respect and making the person’s goals central. It helps when someone needs acceptance, space to reflect, and a therapist who follows their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and building coping tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kourtney uses the introductory sessions to understand needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which methods feel most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from home. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make regular follow-up easier.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
