Kourtney Buchanan, LPC

Kourtney Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a client-centered approach to help people regain control of their lives. She focuses on practical steps people can take now to reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Kourtney aims to create a calm, steady space where clients can identify goals and build skills at their own pace.

She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools. That means sessions often involve looking at unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors in small, manageable steps. Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change, such as with drug and alcohol addiction or shifting patterns that no longer serve them.

Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help with anxiety, anger, and emotional overwhelm. Solution-focused methods help set clear, attainable goals for parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, or coping with life changes. Sessions emphasize strengths and practical strategies rather than long explanations.

Kourtney brings seven years of counseling experience and a background in clinical mental health counseling. She works with people facing depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and family of origin issues.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Albany State University and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University. Kourtney practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps people name what matters most, then aligns sessions to those goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses small experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and addiction-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made or needs change.

Confirm the specific session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling around busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also lets people practice mindfulness or behavioral exercises between meetings and report back on what worked.
