About Kourtney
Kourtney Buchanan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She uses a patient, accepting approach to help people notice patterns, build skills, and set clear goals. Her work often centers on everyday struggles that make parenting and life harder to manage.
Kourtney draws on seven years of clinical experience and a background in psychology and clinical mental health counseling. She helps people name what they are feeling and then chooses simple, doable steps to move forward.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented rather than academic or abstract. She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and anger. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, family concerns, and struggles tied to past trauma or attachment wounds.
Parenting challenges are a clear focus, with attention to how caregiving roles affect mood and functioning. Kourtney blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. That mix lets her tailor sessions to a person’s needs while keeping the plan concrete.
Many clients leave sessions with one or two steps to try between meetings. Kourtney received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Albany State University and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University. Her approach aims to make change feel possible and manageable.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with acceptance and helping people name what matters most to them. This approach supports parenting and relationship concerns by starting from the person's experience and priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It gives concrete exercises and steps to change patterns, which work well over video or messaging when someone needs specific tools for anxiety, mood, or ADHD.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase emotional regulation. These short practices can be assigned between sessions and checked in on via text or chat.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, test out techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Sessions are tailored to preferences, whether the focus is skill building, coping with life changes, or addressing relationship strains.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work break. Live chat and text allow brief updates, reminders, or step-by-step coaching between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy parenting and work lives.
