About Kourtney
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with seven years of clinical experience, Kourtney Buchanan helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions, and parenting challenges. She practices client-centered work alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness methods, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions are conducted in English and focused on practical steps toward change.
Kourtney frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for strengths and patterns, then helps people set clear, attainable goals. She uses person-centered principles to prioritize the client's perspective while introducing skills from CBT and mindfulness to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
In sessions she breaks concerns into manageable pieces. That can mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying short behavioral experiments, or practicing focused attention and breathing. Motivational interviewing is used to clarify readiness for change and to strengthen motivation when habits or addictions are involved.
She also addresses deeper relational and family patterns such as attachment, abandonment, codependency, and family of origin issues. Kourtney supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, grief from separation or divorce, and stress related to caregiving or compassion fatigue.
Practical problem solving and brief, goal-oriented work are part of her approach when appropriate. Clients who want to work on communication, anger, control issues, or coping with life changes often get concrete tools to use between sessions. The overall aim is clearer choices and more effective daily coping.
Education includes a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Albany State University. Kourtney asks prospective clients to confirm current session formats before scheduling to ensure a good fit.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective and building on strengths. In practice this means the therapist listens actively, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set personally meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it uses short exercises and experiments to change patterns that maintain anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kourtney will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, mindfulness practice, motivational interviewing, or a mix of methods to match the person’s needs.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins that take less time than in-person visits, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people sustain progress while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
