Courtney Stubbs , LCSW, CSW

Courtney Stubbs is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. She brings seven years of clinical practice and a lengthy social work background to each conversation. Courtney aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can speak honestly and start making changes that feel manageable.

She focuses on practical, everyday steps rather than jargon. Sessions are a chance to sort priorities, try new ways of communicating, and build small habits that reduce worry and lift mood. Courtney listens closely and offers straightforward feedback so clients can test what works for them.

Her background includes a broad range of social work roles over 18 years, with seven years in clinical practice in Georgia. That mix gives her experience with medical, caregiving, and end-of-life concerns as well as typical life stressors. These experiences shape a steady, realistic approach to problem solving.

Courtney often helps people dealing with body image and eating-related concerns, caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, and challenges around commitment or infidelity. She also supports those navigating divorce, family problems, or feelings of isolation.

Therapy with her tends to be collaborative and goal-oriented. She works with clients to set clear, achievable steps and checks in on progress. The focus stays on what clients want to change and how to make that change fit into daily life.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Courtney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different, more balanced ways of thinking; this can reduce anxiety and lift mood by changing how daily thoughts influence behavior. Another helpful method centers on improving communication and problem-solving in relationships, teaching concrete skills for clearer conversations and boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals and life. Together they assess what feels useful, try methods in sessions, and adjust the plan based on results and preference.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is well suited for deeper conversations and role-play practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter, flexible exchanges that fit into busy days or provide ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
