About
Maxine Douglas, LCSW, CSW, brings over 20 years of clinical and educational experience to her practice in Georgia. She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar and mood disorders, ADHD, relationship and parenting challenges, and concerns related to LGBT identity and multicultural issues.
Her work integrates a collaborative, client-centered stance with several therapeutic frameworks. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and existential and client-centered approaches to shape interventions. That combination supports both practical skill-building and exploration of values, meaning, and interpersonal patterns.
Maxine frames therapy as a joint process in which clinician and client identify goals and select strategies that fit the person’s needs. She offers guidance, practical tools, and ongoing support while respecting each individual’s pace. Prospective clients looking for focused work on addiction, trauma, relationship dynamics, caregiving stress, or life transitions can find a structured, thoughtful partnership in her practice.

Remote therapy and clinical approach
Maxine uses structured and experiential methods that adapt to remote formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is described and used to identify connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to practice new coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes concrete strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy together with Mindfulness Therapy support noticing present-moment experience, clarifying values, and taking steps toward meaningful change.
Work with Maxine is collaborative: she and each client set goals and choose interventions that fit current needs. In the online setting she adapts skill practice, reflective conversation, and behavioral assignments for distance work. Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and those formats can be used for scheduled sessions, brief check-ins, or ongoing skill reinforcement as agreed between therapist and client.
