About Courtney
Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and everyday stress. She works with adolescents and adults who are dealing with anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and related concerns. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making sessions practical and understandable for worried parents and busy people.
Courtney earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University and holds the Georgia Licensed Professional Counselor credential (LPC).
Background and approach
She has continued education in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy, and brings ten years of experience to her clinical work. Her approach mixes several counseling methods to suit each person’s needs. She uses client-centered listening to make space for what matters most to the client.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also draws on acceptance-based ideas and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation or distress tolerance are needed. Courtney pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns when they affect mood or behavior.
She looks at the whole picture - development, family roles, daily stress, and practical routines - to tailor strategies that fit real life. Sessions aim to leave people with clear tools they can try between meetings. Outside work she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and dog, and restoring energy through nature and live music.

How her approaches translate to online care
Courtney commonly combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address difficult emotions and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take actions that matter, even when feelings are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or anger.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Courtney works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. She adjusts strategies over time based on what works and what doesn’t, so treatment stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it simpler to check in between sessions or get brief support during a busy day. These options aim to make counseling more flexible and easier to fit into a real schedule.
