About Courtney
Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, anger, depression, trauma, attention differences, or life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at making everyday life more manageable for clients.
Courtney draws from a mix of therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered listening alongside cognitive and behavioral tools to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.
Background and approach
She also incorporates attachment-based ideas to improve close relationships and address long-standing patterns. She has about 10 years of counseling experience and brings a down-to-earth manner to sessions. Courtney reports that her strongest work tends to be with adolescents and adults, and she is comfortable discussing concerns across a wide range of issues.
Her training included a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and additional coursework in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy. Sessions typically focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings. Conversations include skill-building, examining beliefs that get in the way, and finding values that guide change.
She aims to make therapy feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. Outside of work she enjoys being outdoors, spending time with her husband and dog, and attending concerts. That personal side informs a warm, relatable style in the therapy room.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Courtney uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that add to anxiety or depression. CBT often focuses on clear, short-term exercises and homework that fit well into remote sessions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions and can be practiced through exercises during video or phone sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Courtney will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match a client’s needs. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time based on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and run guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching, brief check-ins, and tracking progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
