Courtney Chandler , LPC

Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University and has pursued extended training in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy. The LPC credential indicates a state license to provide professional counseling services in Georgia.

Courtney uses a systemic, integrative approach that draws on person-centered, existential, reality, and play therapy perspectives to address a wide range of concerns. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, bipolar disorder, and many relationship and family difficulties, including issues related to intimacy, parenting, blended families, and caregiving. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, adoption and foster care, body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and compassion fatigue.

While she has worked with clients across the lifespan, her strongest work is with adolescents and adults. She is known for an empathic, genuine way of connecting, especially with angsty youth, and for helping clients explore patterns, build coping skills, and find meaningful direction. Outside of work, Courtney enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and her dog Jade, reconnecting with nature and animals, and attending concerts and live music events.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care

Courtney incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action - an approach often useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can be especially helpful for intimacy, family dynamics, and attachment-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she draws on to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical coping strategies for depression, anxiety, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Courtney works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from these approaches to match how a client responds and to build skills that feel useful in everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from home or on the go, fit sessions around work and family obligations, and maintain continuity of care during life changes, while working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to individual needs.
