About Courtney

Courtney DeFlanders is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and relationship difficulties. She works with individuals who are navigating grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles, ADHD-related challenges, and changes in life circumstances. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at practical progress rather than jargon.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and usable strategies. Conversations often include practicing new communication skills and building routines that reduce overwhelm.

Background and approach

She uses mindfulness and behavior-focused tools to help manage strong feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. Courtney blends a client-centered stance with cognitive behavioral techniques. This means she centers the conversation on the person in front of her while offering concrete ways to shift thoughts and behaviors.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when people need help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Therapy with her tends to be collaborative and paced to each person. She listens for patterns such as abandonment, attachment concerns, and codependency, and then works on practical steps to change them.

Sessions aim to be useful and relevant to current life demands. Her background includes six years of clinical experience practicing in Georgia. She offers sessions in English and provides online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Courtney commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation or intense reactions are present. DBT skills teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improved interpersonal effectiveness for handling strong feelings and conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods over time. The first sessions are often about figuring out what feels most useful and practical for everyday life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy schedules and help people process between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
