Kourtney Buchanan, LPC

Kourtney Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers therapy on the person in front of her. She uses a warm, person-centered approach to help people notice patterns, name strengths, and set practical goals. Her style aims to be straightforward and steady for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or the fallout of past trauma.

She emphasizes patience and acceptance while helping people learn about symptoms and build new skills. Sessions focus on where someone is now, where they want to go, and clear steps to move forward. That can include managing mood swings, improving self-esteem, coping with life changes, or addressing substance use concerns.

Her clinical background includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. These are blended with a client-centered stance so conversations stay focused on each person’s goals and values. Practical tools and short-term strategies are common in sessions alongside deeper explorations when needed.

With seven years of counseling experience and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, she draws on education and real-world practice to guide sessions. She practices in Georgia and offers services in English. Her work often includes helping people with caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment issues, anger, and the wide effects of family problems.

Kourtney invites people who are ready to take a first step to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. The process is collaborative and aimed at creating manageable, realistic steps toward change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people define their own goals. Online sessions using this approach center the conversation on what matters most to the person and on practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and teaches hands-on tools to change them, which works well over time in regular remote sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to manage anxiety and emotional distress, with short exercises that are easy to practice between appointments.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs. If something isn’t helping, she will adjust the plan together so the work stays useful and focused on realistic progress.

Session formats are not listed explicitly in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It also lets people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life examples to sessions for immediate feedback.
