Courtney Chandler, LPC

Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and related struggles. She works with adolescents and adults and aims to create an approachable space for honest conversation and practical change. Her style is warm and direct, suited to people who want clear tools and steady support.

Courtney draws on about 10 years of clinical experience and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Mercer University. She uses a mix of methods rather than a single technique, choosing approaches that match each person’s needs. Her background includes additional study in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy.

In sessions she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-based ideas and attachment-focused work. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and practice values-based steps that feel meaningful. She also focuses on how relationships and past connections shape current patterns.

Courtney pays attention to practical life challenges, such as parenting stress, work pressure, sleep and eating concerns, caregiving burden, and chronic illness. She also addresses topics like intimacy, body image, kink and alternative sex culture, adoption and foster care issues, and grief. The goal is improving day-to-day functioning and coping.

Outside of work she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and dog, and she likes music and live concerts. This balance helps inform a calm, grounded approach in session.

Practical approaches and online therapy options

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then practice different responses to reduce distress. It often focuses on concrete steps for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and attention issues.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to clarify values and take small committed actions even when difficult feelings are present. It can help with stress, trauma recovery, and making life changes that matter to the person.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current connections and behavior. This approach is useful when worries about trust, abandonment, or attachment patterns are getting in the way of relationships and emotional well-being.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is working and what the person prefers.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat work well for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style support, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
