About Courtney
Courtney DeFlanders is an LPC based in Georgia who assists people facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She works with clients dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, and issues related to self-esteem and ADHD.
Background and approach
Additional focus areas include relationship and communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, blended family dynamics, and other complex presentations such as dissociation and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD). Her practice emphasizes a compassionate, person-focused stance that aims to help clients build practical skills and insight.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods and dialectical behavior therapy techniques to help people identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also inform her work when exploring values, increasing self-awareness, and fostering motivation for change.
With six years of clinical experience, Courtney offers structured, evidence-informed care while attending to each client’s individual needs. Her approach balances skill building and deeper exploration so clients can address immediate concerns and work toward longer-term growth.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
CBT is used to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering structured tools for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating a space where clients' perspectives guide the work and their values shape goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most, combining skill-building and exploration as needed to match individual preferences and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations within Georgia. These flexible formats allow for regular skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and a range of communication styles to support therapeutic progress.
