Courtney Chandler , LPC

Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia, with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. She built on that foundation with extended training in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy, which inform a broad and adaptable clinical toolkit.

She specializes in helping people navigate anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, and related concerns. Courtney uses a systemic, integrative approach that draws on person-centered, existential, reality, and play therapy perspectives to tailor support to each person's situation. She approaches clinical work from a holistic lens, considering how relationships, environment, and life circumstances interact with mental health.

Although she has experience across the lifespan, her most effective work is with adolescents and adults. Clients benefit from her empathic, genuine manner and a particular facility for connecting with angsty youth. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and her dog Jade, reconnecting with nature and animals, and attending concerts to enjoy a wide range of music.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by emphasizing present-moment awareness and committed behavior change.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional response. It supports people working through relational wounds, attachment issues, grief, and difficulties in close relationships by fostering safer, more secure ways of relating.

Courtney approaches treatment collaboratively and recognizes that finding the right method takes time. She works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, then adapts therapeutic techniques to fit each person’s needs rather than relying on a single model.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions from home, work, or while traveling. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care, accommodate busy schedules, and provide consistent support across different stages of treatment.
