About Courtney

Courtney Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, mood challenges, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

With 10 years of clinical experience, she brings an integrative stance that honors each person's unique history and inner experience. Courtney draws from multiple evidence-informed approaches to tailor support for issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, eating and sleep problems, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Her work emphasizes understanding internal parts and relational patterns while collaborating with clients to build practical coping skills and greater self-awareness. Courtney combines Internal Family Systems ideas with cognitive-behavioral tools, acceptance-based strategies, attachment-focused insight, and client-centered listening to form flexible treatment plans.

She has additional training related to trauma, addiction, marriage and family systems, and play-based techniques, which she weaves in when appropriate to match each client's needs. Clients meet with Courtney for video, phone, live chat, or text-based sessions, and scheduling is arranged according to her availability.

She brings an empathic, down-to-earth presence to therapy and aims to support people in finding more balance, stronger connections, and greater clarity about their next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to effective online care

Online sessions with Courtney draw on Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address emotional patterns and build meaningful change. Internal Family Systems helps clients explore and relate to different internal parts, offering a compassionate way to understand inner conflicts and heal trauma-related responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility, teaching practical ways to live in line with what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist approaches this collaboratively. She will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to determine whether IFS, ACT, or elements of attachment-focused or CBT strategies best suit a client's needs, adapting methods as therapy progresses to stay aligned with goals and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and support ongoing contact between sessions when appropriate.
