Courtney Chandler

Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing major life changes and everyday pressures. She works with adults and adolescents who are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, ADHD, autism, bipolar concerns, and related issues. Courtney writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for worried parents and individuals.

Her approach blends several practical methods to match each person's needs. She uses person-centered ideas to build trust and acceptance. Cognitive behavioral tools help with changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment, attachment-focused work, and dialectical skills when they fit the situation.

Courtney trained at Mercer University, where she earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She also pursued extra study in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy. Her decade of practice brings experience across many settings and age groups.

In sessions she attends to the whole person, not just a list of symptoms. That means looking at relationships, daily routines, and how stress shows up at home or school. She often uses concrete strategies people can try between visits to make change feel more attainable.

Outside work she spends time outdoors with her husband and her dog, Jade, and enjoys live music and nature. That personal side informs her belief that small, steady changes can add up to real relief.

How her approaches translate to online work

Courtney often draws from acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based therapy, and client-centered care. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing tough thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and trust, which is useful for intimacy, family stress, and grief. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship to help people feel heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue work during moves or schedule changes. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment work, and client-centered methods to an online setting while focusing on concrete skills and real-life practice between sessions.
