Kourtney Buchanan

Kourtney Buchanan, LPC, uses a client-centered approach to help people gain more control over their lives. She focuses on understanding each person's strengths and goals, and works with them to set clear, manageable steps forward. Her style is patient and accepting, aimed at helping people build new skills and healthier routines.

Kourtney helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and ADHD. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes. Additional areas include attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, and isolation or loneliness.

Her sessions emphasize practical progress. She listens first, then collaborates to identify where a person is and where they want to go. Together they create small, measurable objectives that fit everyday life and can be adjusted as needs change.

Kourtney blends several approaches to match individual needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's experience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete goals and track progress. Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness Therapy are used when they fit the work.

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. She holds an LPC in Georgia and brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice.

How Kourtney’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Kourtney commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person’s experience and immediate needs. This approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters most to the client, and shaping goals from the client’s own values and strengths.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more effective patterns. CBT is practical and action-oriented, which can make it easy to try new skills between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, concrete goals and track progress over time, keeping work focused and forward-moving.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to match each person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. They adjust the plan as progress is made or as needs change.
