About Courtney

Courtney DeFlanders is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD-related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma, and parenting or family challenges.

Background and approach

She brings six years of clinical experience to compassionate, practical work that emphasizes emotional regulation, improved communication, and tools for coping with life changes. Her practice blends evidence-informed methods to support personal growth and healing.

Courtney creates a collaborative, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore attachment and abandonment concerns, work through body image or self-esteem struggles, and address patterns such as codependency, control issues, or dissociation. She also addresses less commonly discussed topics including kink and alternative sex culture with respect and clinical attentiveness.

Using a tailored mix of client-centered care, cognitive and mindfulness-based strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing, she helps clients translate insight into concrete changes. Prospective clients in Georgia can expect a pragmatic, empathetic approach that prioritizes each person’s goals and values.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions



Courtney often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. DBT adds practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and difficulties with self-control.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process rather than a single predetermined method. She collaborates with each client to clarify goals and preferences, then uses a mix of techniques that fit the person’s needs, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles. These formats allow clients to access regular support while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and make it possible to practice skills between sessions in real-life contexts.
