About Kourtney
Kourtney Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, anger, ADHD, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, and related life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Kourtney uses a client-centered foundation that treats the person as the expert on their life. That approach is paired with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice strong emotions, and solution-focused tools to set clear, manageable goals.
Her work often targets communication problems, codependency, control issues, and family of origin concerns. She helps people recognize unhelpful patterns and build small, concrete skills to handle moments of high emotion, including anger and resentment. Sessions look at what currently causes strain and what practical steps reduce it.
Kourtney also addresses caregiver stress, abandonment and attachment worries, and challenges after divorce or separation. For people dealing with substance use or addiction, she uses motivational interviewing techniques to explore readiness for change and build commitment to next steps.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Albany State University and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University. She practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. To start, the site matching process gathers basic information and schedules a first meeting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kourtney blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the person, and building goals from their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors you can change to reduce stress, anger, and anxiety. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice physical and emotional signals when anger or anxiety rises. Mindfulness exercises can teach short practices to calm the body and return attention to the present moment. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kourtney will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That decision is revisited as progress is made and goals change. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier, let people fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Ask about specifics during the matching process so sessions match your routines and practical needs before the first meeting.Areas of focus
