About Courtney

Courtney DeFlanders, LPC, helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or coping with big life changes. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenthood challenges, ADHD-related struggles, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her approach is practical and steady, focused on small steps that make a difference in daily life.

Courtney keeps sessions grounded and straightforward. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to manage symptoms like anxiety and low mood. She also draws on client-centered and motivational methods to build confidence and motivation.

Her work recognizes how family roles, blended homes, and attachment wounds shape feelings and choices. She addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, body image, and caregiving stress. She is attentive to experiences related to LGBT identity, abandonment, dissociation, and other complex emotional patterns.

Courtney brings six years of experience as a licensed professional counselor in Georgia. That experience informs a practical style that combines talk, skill-building, and real-world assignments. Sessions often focus on improving communication, setting boundaries, and developing coping skills for anger and mood difficulties.

She aims to help people feel more in control of their reactions and relationships. Progress is usually steady work across sessions rather than quick fixes. Prospective clients are encouraged to reach out and learn more about how her approach might fit their needs.

How her approaches fit into online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress through concrete exercises and homework. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness through practical skills practice.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and creating a respectful, non-judgmental space. Together with the other methods, these approaches aim to match techniques to the person's goals rather than using a single fixed method. Courtney will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches feel most useful based on their needs and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, makes it easier to keep regular appointments, and allows for shorter check-ins when time is tight. Online sessions can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and bring real-life examples into conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered work to an online format, and Courtney will help determine how best to use those methods for your situation.
