About Reta
Reta Chandler is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, and social anxiety.
Chandler focuses on practical, evidence-based techniques to help people understand how their past and present experiences connect. She talks through triggers and coping patterns. Sessions often look at communication habits, boundaries, and steps to reduce panic or overwhelm. She also helps people think through life purpose, midlife transitions, and feelings of isolation.
Her background includes long-term counseling with people facing substance misuse and the related triggers that can lead to relapse. That experience informs her work with impulse control and building routines that support sobriety when that’s a concern. She describes her practice as grounded in clear methods and steady support rather than theory alone.
Reta works with forgiveness questions and grief that tie into shame or self-blame. She helps clients identify small changes that alter daily mood and social connection. Conversations can include developing more self-love and repairing communication patterns.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. The cost varies with location, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Reta describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses involves identifying triggers and safety strategies to manage panic and anger; this looks like step-by-step skills practice and planning to reduce moments of overwhelm. Another emphasis is on processing trauma and grief in manageable pieces, paying attention to how past experiences shape current feelings of guilt or shame and developing clearer ways to respond.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and tolerance for emotion, adjusting pace and tools as needed. The aim is to match techniques to the problem at hand rather than use a single method for everything.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counseling into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Reta’s focus on practical skills can adapt to remote work, making it possible to practice exercises between sessions and bring real-life examples to talk through.
