About Courtney

Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She focuses on practical support for parents and adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, grief, and related concerns. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and manage day-to-day challenges.

Courtney draws on about 10 years of counseling experience and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University.

Background and approach

She has also pursued additional training in marriage and family systems, addictions, trauma, and play therapy. That range helps her match approaches to each person’s situation. In sessions she uses several therapy models to tailor work to the person in front of her.

Those include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused perspectives, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She mixes these in a practical way so people can use what helps most. Courtney has worked with adolescents and adults and often connects well with teenagers and parents.

She pays attention to family dynamics and parenting challenges while keeping language plain and concrete. Her approach emphasizes building skills, practicing new habits, and clarifying values. Outside work she enjoys time outdoors with her husband and their dog Jade, music, and visiting concerts.

She also likes being around animals and nature, which informs a calm and grounded presence in session.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, value-driven steps. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of parenting or daily life by teaching mindful action and flexible responses.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits for sleep, mood, anxiety, and parenting routines.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape reactions today and can be useful when family patterns or parenting roles feel stuck. It aims to increase connection and safety in relationships through clearer communication and new interaction patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods together, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist work as a team to find the best mix of strategies.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, get short check-ins between sessions, and use tools learned in real time at home. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote formats so work continues across sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
