About Reta
Reta Chandler is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and anger. Her work aims to make overwhelming feelings more manageable so people can move forward in daily life.
Reta listens for each person’s story and looks for practical ways to reduce distress. She helps clients identify triggers, practice new responses, and build routines that support emotional stability.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to what feels useful in day-to-day situations. She also helps people understand patterns tied to abandonment, attachment issues, and communication problems. Topics often include guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and caregiving strain.
Reta supports exploration of life purpose, midlife concerns, and growing self-love as part of broader healing. Her background includes long-term work with trauma, post-traumatic stress, panic, and mood disorders. That experience informs a calm, steady approach when addressing difficult memories or intense emotions.
Reta emphasizes learning tools clients can use between sessions. When practical change is the goal, she focuses on steps people can try right away. She works with clients to set clear goals, track progress, and adjust strategies.
People leave sessions with specific ideas to practice and a plan for the next steps.

Evidence-based care through online sessions
Reta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding triggers and building new responses. One approach she relies on helps people identify patterns that keep difficult feelings alive and teaches practical steps to change those patterns. This can be useful for anger, anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.Another common focus is trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult memories at a manageable pace and develop skills for coping with intense reactions. That approach supports recovery from post-traumatic stress and abuse-related symptoms without pushing beyond what someone can handle.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Reta will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as new concerns arise so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life.
