Courtney Chandler , LPC

Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, mood challenges, and identity concerns. She works with adolescents and adults and focuses on issues like depression, ADHD, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, and self-esteem. Her style is direct and empathetic, aimed at practical change rather than long lectures.

Courtney draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses strategies that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, build emotional skills, and clarify personal values. Sessions usually focus on small, doable steps that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Her background includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Mercer University and ten years of clinical experience. She has continued study in areas such as addiction, trauma, and family systems, which informs her work with complex concerns. That experience supports clear treatment planning and steady progress monitoring.

Many clients come for help with trauma, mood swings, and relationship or intimacy questions. Others seek support for parenting strain, career transitions, or body image and eating concerns. Courtney often blends skill-building with reflective work to address both symptoms and underlying patterns.

Outside of practice she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and their dog, reconnecting with nature, and listening to live music. Those personal interests influence a warm, grounded approach in sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven action. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical exercises to stay engaged in what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses clear techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early connections shape relationships today and can help with intimacy issues, trust, and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk about the options, try a few strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist set goals together and check progress over time to make sure the work matches needs and preferences.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for full conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, momentary support, or keeping momentum between sessions. These formats make therapy easier to fit into a busy life while keeping the focus on consistent progress and clear goals.
