About Courtney
Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and parenting challenges. Her manner is warm and direct, aimed at helping parents and adults find clearer ways to cope and respond.
Courtney trained at Mercer University where she earned a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She has additional study in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy.
Background and approach
She draws on a mix of approaches rather than one single method. In sessions she uses straightforward talk and practical exercises. That can mean learning new coping skills, trying behavior changes, or looking at how attachment and relationships shape daily life.
She pays attention to the whole picture, including stress, sleep, work, and relationship patterns. Courtney has about 10 years of counseling experience and has worked with adolescents and adults. She often helps people dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, intimacy issues, substance concerns, and the demands of caregiving.
Parents who are worn out or unsure about next steps often find this helpful. Outside work she spends time outdoors with her husband and their dog Jade, and she enjoys music and concerts. Her approach is practical, down-to-earth, and aimed at helping people make manageable changes that fit their daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it focuses on values and simple behavioral steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people create new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. That work can clarify parenting patterns, intimacy concerns, and stress around relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance where the client leads the pace of work and feels heard before making changes.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed rather than following a fixed plan.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is low, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports short updates and reminders between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for parents and adults juggling work, caregiving, and daily schedules.
