Courtney Chandler , LPC

Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia; an LPC is a state license that authorizes professional counseling practice. She earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University and has pursued additional training in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy.

Courtney employs a systemic, integrative approach that weaves together person-centered, existential, reality, and play therapy perspectives to support clients facing a range of emotional and behavioral challenges. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, and related concerns, with attention to how individuals function within relationships and broader life contexts. She approaches clinical situations from a holistic lens, considering the whole person and their patterns of connection.

While she has experience across all age groups, Courtney concentrates her work with adolescents and adults and is recognized for an empathetic, genuine ability to connect, especially with angsty youth. Outside of clinical work she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and her dog Jade, reconnecting with nature and animals, and attending concerts and live music events.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, focusing on actions that align with personal values and moving toward meaningful goals. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with painful emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns influence current ways of connecting, helping clients address intimacy issues, trust wounds, and recurring relational dynamics. It supports work on attachment-related concerns and improving relationship functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the center of the process, offering empathy and collaborative support so individuals can explore their own solutions and build self-understanding. This approach is helpful for strengthening self-esteem, navigating life transitions, and developing coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy; Courtney works with each person to tailor methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. Online sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, reduce travel demands, and continue therapeutic work when in-person visits are not feasible, while licensed professionals apply the same therapeutic principles through these formats.
