About Courtney
Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, ADHD, bipolar, and related concerns. She works directly with adolescents and adults and aims to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.
Courtney uses a blended, systemic approach that draws on client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and attachment-based ideas. She pays attention to how thoughts and daily habits shape feelings and behavior, and she helps people notice small patterns that make a big difference.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University, plus extended coursework in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy. Courtney has about 10 years of clinical work and has worked across age groups, which informs how she adapts sessions to different needs.
In sessions she aims to connect in an empathic, straightforward way. Practical skills, focused reflection, and goal-setting are common parts of her work. She also uses relational ideas to explore how attachment and relationships affect current struggles.
Outside of practice she spends time outdoors with her husband and her dog Jade. She values music and nature and often brings that down-to-earth perspective into conversations with clients.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Courtney uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centered care. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which helps with anxiety and avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, useful for intimacy, grief, and relationship concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, helping people feel heard and steering goals from their priorities rather than a preset plan.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Courtney collaborates with each person to figure out what methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the approach over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
If you are considering remote sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care while relocating within the same state. Ask about available formats when you schedule to find a setup that fits your routine.
