About Courtney

Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, ADHD, Autism, bipolar disorder, and related concerns. Courtney works mainly with adolescents and adults and draws on approaches that suit each person’s situation.

She trained at Mercer University where she earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She has also pursued additional coursework in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy. Those experiences feed into the mix of practical methods she uses in sessions.

Courtney favors an integrative, systemic outlook. That means she pays attention to relationships, life roles, and patterns that interact with mental health. Sessions include talk, skill-building, and sometimes activities borrowed from play therapy when that helps younger clients open up.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appear in her practice. She uses these approaches to help people identify feelings, notice patterns, and try new ways of responding to stress and conflict.

Her style is direct and straightforward. She aims to make work practical so people can use what they learn between sessions. Outside of work she spends time outdoors with her husband and her dog Jade, and she enjoys live music and nature.

How her approaches translate to online work

Courtney uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and interaction patterns that keep people stuck. EFT can help clarify hard-to-name emotions and how they shape behavior in relationships and daily life.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on identifying values and learning small actions that align with those values. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, avoidance, and persistent stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence; it helps people notice how early relationship patterns show up now and guides work on more secure ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Courtney will discuss what seems most helpful, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative check-in is part of early sessions.

The practical benefits of online work often include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time, and adding flexibility for short check-ins or focused skill practice. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Many people find remote sessions helpful for consistent, regular work without reshuffling their whole day.
