Maxine Douglas, LCSW, CSW

Maxine Douglas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship and parenting concerns. Sessions focus on clear steps and practical skills rather than labels or jargon.

She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and existential ideas. In practice this looks like setting small goals, learning strategies to manage intense emotions, and trying new behaviors between sessions. Maxine encourages straightforward problem solving and reflection so people can make day-to-day changes.

Maxine has a background as both a therapist and an educator. That experience shows in how she explains concepts and gives homework or practice tasks that fit real life. She pays attention to how stress, identity, and past experiences shape current choices.

Clients often bring issues such as parenting strain, addiction recovery, caregiving stress, attachment concerns, or major life transitions. Maxine helps people sort priorities, plan next steps, and build skills for handling triggers and setbacks. She avoids labels and focuses on what will move a client forward.

Her style is collaborative and direct. People leave sessions with specific strategies to test between meetings. To start, she asks simple questions about goals, routine, and what has or hasn’t worked so far.
