Courtney Chandler, LPC

Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, ADHD, addiction, and related challenges. She works with adolescents and adults and aims to build honest, down-to-earth connections. Her style is straightforward and empathetic, focused on practical steps people can use outside sessions.

Courtney draws on about 10 years of experience and a masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. She mixes ways of working from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, and acceptance-focused strategies to match what each person needs. She also uses attachment-based ideas and dialectical skills when those fit the situation.

In sessions she pays attention to the whole picture - mental health, relationships, caregiving demands, and physical health concerns like chronic pain or illness. She helps people manage grief, parenting strain, career stress, and the emotional fallout of life changes. She aims to make tools concrete and usable in daily life.

Courtney has additional training related to addictions, trauma, marriage and family systems, and play therapy. That background shapes how she tailors plans for someone coping with complicated histories or overlapping challenges.

Outside work she spends time outdoors with her husband and their dog Jade, enjoys live music, and values time in nature. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, helping people set goals and try steps that fit their routines.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It can help people coping with chronic illness, anxiety, or major life changes by teaching flexible ways to respond to painful feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people shift unhealthy cycles in relationships and self-image. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and pace, with the therapist providing nonjudgmental listening and reflection to support growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those choices as progress is made, so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue therapy through life transitions or for people managing chronic health conditions, while the therapist helps adapt exercises so they work in everyday settings.
