Courtney DeFlanders , LPC

Courtney DeFlanders is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and issues related to self-esteem and ADHD. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.

Courtney creates a calm space for people to talk about painful past events, grief, and intimacy concerns. She uses talking, reflection, and skills practice so clients leave a session with something to try. Sessions are paced to fit each person’s needs and goals.

She draws on several well-known therapies to tailor work to the person in front of her. That can include changing unhelpful thinking patterns, building emotion regulation skills, strengthening communication, and using mindful awareness. These methods are shaped into brief exercises and real-life practice between sessions.

Courtney has six years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. Her practice is based in Georgia and she works with people facing life changes and relationship pressures. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, and issues around body image and attachment.

People who come for help often want tangible tools and steady support. Courtney aims to walk alongside them while they try new ways of handling stress, set boundaries, and rebuild confidence. She emphasizes collaboration and clear steps over lengthy theory.

How therapy methods translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides them to set their own goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, handling conflict, and tolerating distress in healthier ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps people know why certain exercises are being used and how to apply them between sessions.

Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for full sessions that mimic an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter interaction is needed during a break in the day.
