About Courtney
Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people managing anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, and related struggles. She works with adolescents and adults and aims to create a straightforward, empathetic space where people can talk about what’s bringing them stress. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focused on clear goals and steady progress.
She trained at Mercer University, earning a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Over the last 10 years she has added continuing education in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy to broaden how she supports clients. That background informs her flexible style in sessions.
Courtney uses an integrative method that pulls from person-centered ideas, existential and reality therapy, and play therapy perspectives. She blends tools to match each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method. That means sessions can include talking, skill practice, and real-life problem solving.
Her work often looks at the whole picture of someone’s life - relationships, daily routines, and coping habits. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions. In practical terms, that might mean learning emotion regulation skills, changing unhelpful thoughts, or trying new ways to handle conflict.
Outside of work she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and her dog Jade, listening to music, and being around animals. Those interests shape a warm, relatable style in sessions.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking steps that align with them while accepting uncomfortable feelings. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift them through practical exercises and behavior changes, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early bonds to understand current reactions and improve connection and trust in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying different strategies and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from places with quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can use these approaches in remote sessions to teach skills, process emotions, and plan behavior changes just as they would in person.
