About Courtney
Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, and related concerns. Courtney works with adolescents and adults and aims to create honest, down-to-earth conversations that feel manageable.
Courtney draws on several practical therapy approaches to meet each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and take actions that fit their values.
How Courtney works
She brings attachment-informed thinking to relationships and emotional patterns. She also uses client-centered ways of listening so people feel heard and respected. Her background includes a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University.
She completed additional training in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy. That mix helps her adapt sessions to different concerns and life stages. Courtney favors a straightforward, integrative style.
Sessions usually involve talking through current struggles, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing new skills or ways of relating. She aims to make therapy feel practical and relevant to everyday life. Outside of work she enjoys time outdoors with her husband and her dog, Jade, and she recharges through music and nature.
Those personal interests often show up in her conversational and relatable approach in session.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small actions toward them even when emotions are strong. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns affect current relationships and emotional reactions; it can help with attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, current struggles, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods, track what works, and adjust the plan so the work fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to connect between sessions or check in on difficult days. These options give flexibility for different schedules, comfort levels, and day-to-day demands while still focusing on meaningful progress.
