Courtney Chandler

Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with a ten-year counseling background. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and related concerns. She connects in a straightforward, empathetic way and often works well with adolescents and adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Courtney earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University and holds the LPC credential. She has additional education in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy. Those training areas inform how she shapes sessions and the tools she offers.

Her approach is integrative and systemic. She draws on client-centered ideas to follow a person's lead, uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and incorporates acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps. Dialectical behavior skills appear when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Courtney pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns when those things affect mood and behavior. She also uses play-based strategies when working with younger clients or with people who benefit from less verbal work. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and steps that fit daily life.

Outside of work she enjoys time outdoors with her husband and their dog, Jade, and she values music and live shows. That balance helps shape how she supports people facing life changes and ongoing stressors.

Approaches that guide online work

Courtney commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when shaping work with emotional and behavioral challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people identify personal values and take small, value-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change reactions and reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Courtney will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. She adapts techniques over time and checks in so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they emphasize skills practice, behavioral experiments, and brief homework that can be used between appointments.
