About Courtney
Courtney DeFlanders is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and ADHD-related concerns. She writes simply and listens closely to understand what feels most urgent for each person. Courtney focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
She works with clients to build clearer communication, manage intense emotions, and create routines that reduce overwhelm. Sessions aim to be direct and collaborative rather than full of jargon.
Background and approach
Her background includes six years of clinical experience in community and outpatient settings. That time shaped a calm style and an emphasis on small, achievable changes that add up. She draws on a mix of evidence-based methods to match what a person needs in the moment.
Courtney pays attention to attachment history, abandonment wounds, and patterns that repeat in relationships. She also addresses issues such as body image, codependency, caregiver stress, and reactions to trauma or loss. When relevant, she helps people name and work with dissociation or strong mood shifts.
People can expect sessions that balance practical skills and emotional understanding. Courtney helps clients set realistic goals, try new behaviors, and adjust strategies when something isn’t working. The aim is steady progress and clearer day-to-day functioning.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, low mood, and skills like time management or breaking big tasks into smaller steps.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It often helps when people struggle with strong mood swings, impulsivity, or repeated relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan when needed. That collaborative process helps make sure techniques are useful in daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be lower bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
