About Courtney

Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family matters, grief, parenting, and related issues that affect adults and adolescents.

Courtney uses an integrative, systemic approach. She draws on person-centered and attachment ideas to build a strong working relationship. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral elements and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to address difficult emotions and change patterns.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University and additional coursework in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy. That training informs a flexible way of working rather than a single fixed method.

Courtney often helps people who are coping with life changes, chronic stress, caregiving strain, or complex mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. She also addresses issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment struggles, and blended family stress.

Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems stuck and then try practical strategies for managing emotions, improving relationships, and building everyday coping skills. She is experienced with adolescents and adults and adapts the pace and interventions to what a person says works best for them.

Outside of clinical work she spends time outdoors with her husband and dog, enjoys music and concerts, and reconnects with nature.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them, then choosing actions that align with values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about family or parenting priorities. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current interactions; it can be useful for relationship stress and caregiving conflicts.

Courtney treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. If an approach does not seem to help, adjustments are part of the work rather than a failure.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or keep the focus on skills practice rather than video presentation. Licensed professionals aim to match session length and structure to practical needs so therapy can fit into everyday life.
