About Kourtney

Kourtney Buchanan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who draws on seven years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and a wide range of relationship and life-change concerns.

Background and approach

She uses evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help clients identify patterns, build practical skills, and cultivate a more balanced way of living. Her work emphasizes patience, acceptance, and the development of tangible goals tailored to each person’s strengths.

Kourtney guides clients through understanding symptoms, addressing attachment and family-of-origin issues, and navigating challenges such as intimacy problems, parenting stress, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, codependency, communication breakdowns, grief from separation or divorce, and substance-related struggles.

Based in Georgia, Kourtney offers an empathetic, collaborative style that focuses on where clients are now and the steps needed to move toward healthier routines and relationships. She aims to help people find practical strategies and renewed confidence while honoring their unique experiences and goals.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care



Kourtney often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with practical skills that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support better decision making. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering an accepting, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes each person's goals and strengths and helps people explore their values and personal resources.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to decide which combination of techniques best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions provide flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support and practical skill-building while accommodating different communication styles and accessibility needs.
