About Courtney
Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and related issues. Her style is straightforward and empathetic, aimed at helping someone feel heard and find practical ways forward.
Courtney draws on about 10 years of clinical experience and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. She blends several therapy perspectives rather than using a single method.
Background and approach
That lets her tailor work to what a person actually needs in the moment. Her approach mixes client-centered conversation with skills-based strategies. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior ideas to build emotional regulation skills.
Attachment-based ideas also show up when looking at how past relationships shape present stress and intimacy concerns. Courtney has worked with adolescents and adults and often connects well with teens who feel misunderstood. She also has advanced study in areas like marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy, which inform how she frames challenges and goals.
Outside of clinical work she spends time outdoors with her husband and her dog Jade. She enjoys music and concerts and brings a down-to-earth, relatable presence into sessions.
How therapy methods translate to online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions can include structured skill practice, thought records, and short homework tasks to use between meetings.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current stress and intimacy. In remote sessions this might mean mapping relationship histories, noticing interaction cycles, and practicing new ways of relating during conversations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That includes checking in about what feels useful and shifting strategies as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for conversation and real-time skill practice, phone can be a good shorter check-in with lower bandwidth needs, and chat or messaging works well for brief reflections, reminders, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
