About Courtney
Courtney Stubbs helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW practicing in Georgia and draws on 7 years of clinical work along with a longer social work career to guide conversations. Her manner is straightforward and supportive for people seeking practical change.
Courtney creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what feels hard.
Background and approach
She focuses on small, manageable steps so change feels possible. Sessions center on identifying patterns, building coping skills, and strengthening communication skills that can be used right away. Her background includes many years in social work that inform how she sees stress and relationships.
That experience helps her notice practical barriers and strengths that can be missed in short-term problem-solving. She uses that perspective to tailor plans to each person’s daily life. Courtney also supports people facing aging and caregiver concerns, chronic illness or pain, body image and eating issues, and end-of-life matters.
She addresses emotions like guilt, shame, isolation, jealousy, and forgiveness with direct, compassionate conversation. Therapy with her typically involves talk, skill-building, and setting clear goals together. She encourages clients to try strategies between sessions and to review what helps.
The aim is steady progress toward more confidence, better relationships, and reduced stress. Work begins by picking a goal and choosing practical steps to reach it. Courtney keeps the focus on what a person can change now, while acknowledging the harder feelings that come with life transitions.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on present-day functioning and skill building. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and thought-challenge techniques to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning. Another focuses on improving communication and relationship habits by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing clearer, kinder ways to share needs and set boundaries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, then suggest strategies to try. Together they review what works and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter updates. These options help people stay consistent with care while balancing work, caregiving, and daily routines.
