About Kourtney
Kourtney Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people regain control and build more balanced lives. She uses a person-centered approach that starts with accepting where someone is right now and then setting clear, achievable goals for change. Her tone in sessions is patient and supportive, aimed at helping clients notice patterns and learn practical skills.
She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses attention challenges such as ADHD, substance and behavioral addictions, and issues tied to family of origin and attachment. Codependency, communication problems, anger, and feelings of emptiness are among other areas she works on.
Kourtney draws on approaches like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to shape work in the room. That means sessions can include straightforward problem-solving, noticing thoughts and behaviors, and practicing present-moment techniques that reduce overwhelm. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods to clarify goals and build momentum.
She trained in psychology and clinical mental health counseling, holding a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She has seven years of experience working with adults across a range of life challenges. Kourtney practices in Georgia and conducts therapy in English.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. New clients complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin, then schedule sessions that fit their needs. The aim is practical progress that matches each person’s pace and priorities.
How Kourtney uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a supportive relationship so people feel heard and can set their own goals. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and the emotional fallout of trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple present-moment practices to help reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for attention challenges and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches and adjust as progress is made. This helps keep sessions practical and responsive to each person’s needs.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a longer visit isn’t possible. It can also let people use audio if bandwidth is limited or a shorter call suits a break at work. Licensed professionals will help plan a format and schedule that works with everyday life.
