Courtney DeFlanders, LPC

Courtney DeFlanders, LPC helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and life changes. She also supports clients facing family and parenting strain, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, ADHD concerns, and questions tied to sexual expression and identity. Her work aims to make tough problems easier to talk about and handle day to day.

Courtney keeps sessions direct and down-to-earth. She creates a calm, non-judgmental space where people can say what they’re feeling and figure out what matters most to them. Conversations focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and skill-building that can be used between sessions.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed tools. That means she follows the client’s lead while offering techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when useful. Those tools are used to change unhelpful patterns and manage intense emotions.

Courtney has six years of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She practices in Georgia and works with adults navigating personal transitions, attachment concerns, body image, and other relational struggles. The emphasis is on realistic strategies rather than labels.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative process. She helps identify goals, practices new skills in session, and charts small steps toward better coping. Clients leave with concrete ideas they can try between meetings to make daily life feel more manageable.

How her approaches translate to online work

Courtney uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities, giving space to name goals and decide what to address first. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers clear ways to notice thought and behavior patterns and then try different actions to change how someone feels. Dialectical behavior therapy brings skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and steadier relationships when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use, adapting tools to fit the client’s goals and preferences. That collaboration means methods can shift over time as needs change.

Because the biography does not list specific online formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people pick sessions that match their energy level, such as a focused skill session or a longer processing conversation, while keeping treatment practical and goal oriented.
