About Courtney
Courtney DeFlanders is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and major life changes. She also supports concerns around relationships, self-esteem, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Her style is warm and straightforward.
Sessions focus on practical steps people can use outside of appointments. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and works with them to try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Courtney draws from several evidence-informed approaches. She uses client-centered techniques to match care to each person's needs. She brings cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices for emotion regulation and stress management. Clients who work with her can expect a mix of conversations, skill practice, and gentle challenges aimed at real-life change. She often uses motivational interviewing to clarify goals and build momentum toward them.
Sessions move at a pace set by the person in therapy. With six years of experience as an LPC, Courtney aims to create a respectful and nonjudgmental environment. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, tangible coping tools, and steady progress.
People looking for a practical, empathetic therapist for anger, relationship, or anxiety-related concerns may find her style a good fit.

How counseling approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the person's lead, reflects feelings, and helps set goals that feel doable. This approach is helpful for people dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and practicing new skills between sessions. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Delivered over video, phone, chat, or text, these skills are taught and practiced with coaching for real-world situations like strong anger or relationship conflict.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit a person's needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. Together they prioritize short-term coping skills and longer-term change.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls are close to in-person conversation and work well for skills practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a work break or a walk. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support, and written reminders of strategies between appointments.
