Courtney Wilson

Courtney Wilson is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio with 14 years of experience. She listens to each person’s story and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space to talk through hard things. She works with people facing addiction, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, and related struggles.

She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harm and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want help finding the reasons and motivation to change. Sessions focus on practical steps, clear goals, and steady support over time.

Courtney has a bachelor’s and master’s degree in social work and holds an Ohio LISW credential. Her background includes substantial work with survivors of sexual abuse and with people managing addiction and relationship challenges. That experience shapes how she listens and plans treatment.

Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and straightforward. She aims to meet people where they are and help them build coping skills that fit daily life. She supports concerns such as parenting stress, career transitions, body image, self-harm thoughts, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.

How Trauma-Focused and Cognitive Approaches Work Online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process past harm and reduce its day-to-day effects by reviewing experiences safely, naming reactions, and practicing ways to respond differently. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thought that keep problems going and tests new ways of thinking and acting to change mood and behavior. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change by helping them clarify their goals and strengthen reasons for making changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then suggest steps to try. That plan can change as progress unfolds, and decision making is collaborative throughout treatment.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Because the exact session formats are not listed here, confirm available options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine. Licensed professionals can often adapt pacing and homework to suit each person's daily schedule, making therapy more manageable alongside work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
