Courtney Stubbs, LCSW, CSW

Courtney Stubbs is a Georgia-licensed social worker with seven years of clinical practice and 18 years of experience in the social work field. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials - LCSW meaning Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW indicating a clinical social work credential - and uses that background to support people facing a range of emotional and relational challenges.

Courtney works with clients coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, motivation concerns, and self-esteem or confidence issues. Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly and explored collaboratively. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s situation and goals, helping clients develop practical skills and clearer perspectives to navigate difficult moments.

Courtney emphasizes empowerment and partnership in the work she does, recognizing that seeking change takes courage. She aims to support and encourage clients through each step of their journey toward greater well-being and more fulfilling relationships.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Many of Courtney’s sessions use evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the concerns at hand. One common focus is work on thoughts and behaviors - helping clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. These techniques emphasize skill-building and measurable steps to improve daily functioning and mood.

She also applies relationship- and family-focused interventions that aim to improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen connection among partners and family members. These approaches support clients dealing with relationship strain, caregiving stress, and transitions like separation or changes in caregiving roles.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Courtney works collaboratively with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options openly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult, and access support from home. These formats allow therapists to deliver focused, effective interventions while accommodating clients’ lives and logistical needs.
