About Kourtney
Kourtney Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She speaks plainly and helps people name the problems they face. Sessions aim to build useful skills and clearer goals so daily life feels more manageable.
Kourtney emphasizes a calm, accepting approach that centers the client. She listens for strengths and uses those as a starting point. Together she and the client set small, concrete steps toward change rather than vague promises.
Her work addresses stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, and substance-related struggles. She also helps people cope with life changes, compassion fatigue, and the aftermath of trauma or abuse. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is one listed focus, and she can help people process disruption and rebuild routines.
Kourtney uses methods from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice this means listening first, then trying techniques that match a person’s needs, such as thought tracking, brief goal-setting, or mindfulness exercises.
She trained in psychology at Albany State University and earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University. Kourtney brings seven years of counseling experience and practices in Georgia as an LPC.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Kourtney commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding with acceptance, helping people clarify what matters to them and build on existing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That means trying things out, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a preset path.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and can reduce time spent traveling. It also allows practical exercises like mood tracking, thought records, and short mindfulness practices to be used between meetings to support steady progress.
