About Courtney
Courtney Wilson is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 14 years of clinical experience helping people navigate addictions, relationship and family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, and related concerns.
Background and approach
She holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in social work and has developed particular experience supporting survivors of sexual abuse. Courtney emphasizes listening first and learning each person’s story in their own words.
Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed methods with warmth and respect. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Motivational Interviewing and trauma-focused strategies to address patterns of thought and behavior, build motivation for change, and process traumatic memories when appropriate.
Clients can expect a collaborative process rooted in unconditional positive regard and compassion as they explore goals such as improving relationships, coping with life changes, managing stress, or addressing substance use. Based in Ohio and licensed as LISW, Courtney offers a professional, nonjudgmental space for people facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.
She aims to meet each person where they are and tailor interventions to individual needs and circumstances.
Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to change them; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonconfrontational method that helps people explore and strengthen their own reasons for change, often used with substance use or ambivalence about making life adjustments. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the effects of traumatic experiences and offers ways to process and integrate those memories while building coping strategies for triggers and emotional distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, adjusting techniques as progress is made and circumstances change. This collaborative process helps tailor care rather than relying on any single method.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These options allow for continuity of care across different schedules and locations while giving clients choices about how they prefer to communicate with licensed professionals and therapists.
