Phaciealeethas (PJ) Chandler, LPC

Phaciealeethas (PJ) Chandler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 14 years of clinical experience. She earned a Master’s in Counseling with a focus in Clinical Mental Health from Delta State University and has supported people across the lifespan, from children as young as four to older adults. Her clinical background spans outpatient and inpatient settings, crisis response, community work, and telehealth, giving her a broad perspective on struggles such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and life transitions.

She works from a client-centered stance, believing that most people already hold many of the answers they seek and benefit from a guide who helps surface strength and build practical tools. PJ describes her role as walking alongside clients - noticing what needs attention, offering insight, and helping craft skills for day-to-day life. Her style is honest, steady, and direct; she balances challenge with support and lets the client set the pace and depth of the work.

PJ blends evidence-based techniques with humanistic and expressive methods, drawing on approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods and Acceptance and Commitment principles when they fit the person and the problem. She places particular focus on issues including stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, relationships, trauma and abuse, sleep concerns, parenting and career challenges, mood disorders, and multicultural and women’s issues. The first session functions as a consultation to feel out fit and priorities, with the client’s comfort and readiness guiding next steps.
