About Courtney
Courtney Buchanan is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with relationship stress, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and career difficulties. Her work also covers mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, as well as anxiety, grief, addictions, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
She uses straightforward talk and focused listening to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to clarify pressing problems, set practical goals, and find concrete steps forward. She often draws on Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral ideas to reshape thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck.
Courtney also incorporates narrative and Jungian approaches when meaning and life story are central to a concern. Motivational Interviewing informs her work around change and addictions, helping people weigh options and strengthen commitment to new behaviors. These methods are used together to match the issue at hand rather than following a single script.
People reach out for help with blended family issues, parenting strain, co-parenting friction with an ex, and the stress of merging households. She works with LGBT concerns, adoption and foster care topics, and challenges related to aging and caregiving. Practical problem solving and clearer communication are common goals.
Her style is focused and direct. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and suggests tools to practice between sessions. To get started, prospective clients follow the site buttons to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Courtney commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following what the person brings to the session, which helps when people need acceptance and clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers simple skill-based practices to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Narrative Therapy when life story and meaning matter, helping people reframe problems as separate from themselves and identify alternative storylines. Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and the person work together to see what fits the concern, goals, and day-to-day realities, and they adjust methods as progress is reviewed.

The practical aim is to arrange a rhythm of sessions that fits everyday life while using the chosen therapeutic methods to address relationship stress, blended family challenges, trauma, mood, or addiction concerns.
