Phaciealeethas (PJ) Chandler, LPC

Phaciealeethas (PJ) Chandler approaches therapy as a collaborative exploration in which the client leads the pace and depth of work. She believes many people already carry the resources they need and aims to help uncover and strengthen those strengths while offering practical tools for managing life’s challenges. Honest, fair, consistent, and present, she combines challenge and support rather than offering quick fixes or empty reassurance.

Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia - GA LPC 010558 - and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her practice. She earned a Master’s in Counseling with a focus in Clinical Mental Health from Delta State University. Her background spans outpatient and inpatient settings, crisis response, community work, and telehealth, and she has worked with clients from age four through older adulthood across concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and life transitions.

Her therapeutic stance is person-centered, integrating cognitive-behavioral strategies, humanistic and rational choice perspectives, psychoeducation, and expressive techniques when they serve the client’s goals. The first session is treated as a consultation - an opportunity to assess fit, set expectations, and decide whether to move forward. Comfort and collaboration guide her work as she helps people build tools to handle what life brings.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to act in line with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful action rather than attempts to eliminate distress.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and early bonds to understand how those patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses. It can be especially useful for relationship struggles, attachment issues, and codependency by strengthening connection and relational awareness.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s perspective at the center of the work, emphasizing empathy, respect, and the client’s own capacity for growth. This approach supports self-exploration and self-compassion across concerns like self-esteem, identity, and recovery from trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and life situations. These options make it easier to access care from home or while traveling, support continuity of sessions, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to tailor communication styles to each client’s comfort and needs.
