Courtney Wilson

Courtney Wilson is a licensed independent social worker with 14 years of experience helping people navigate painful life moments. She listens to each person's story and aims to offer steady support for issues like addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, and divorce and separation. Courtney presents herself with warmth and respect and invites people to speak in their own words.

She holds a bachelors and a masters degree in social work and has spent much of her career addressing trauma, including sexual abuse. Her approach centers on practical skills and clear conversation. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns and experiment with small changes.

Courtney also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters most and to build readiness for change. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of how she works when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Sessions tend to focus on coping strategies, emotion regulation, and steps toward concrete goals.

In meetings she aims to be straightforward and compassionate. She encourages honesty about setbacks and celebrates small progress. People can expect guided discussion, practical tools, and a focus on what they want to change next.

Courtney practices in Ohio and offers services in English. She is interested in helping people manage family problems, parenting strain, intimacy worries, self-esteem concerns, and the many stresses that follow major life transitions.

How these approaches translate to online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In practice this means talking through situations, trying a new response between sessions, and reviewing what changed. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and uses guided questions to build commitment and next steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on reducing the hold of painful memories and strengthening coping skills so daily life feels more manageable.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, concerns, and how they prefer to work. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example scheduling around work or childcare, or reducing travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick session is helpful, or a longer visit when more processing is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these therapeutic approaches to suit a client's situation and daily routine.
