About Courtney Wilson

Courtney Wilson is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 14 years of experience in clinical social work. She holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in social work and has built a career supporting people facing addictions, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and a wide range of life stressors. Much of her practice has focused on sexual abuse, and she brings that specialized experience into broader work with grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting, caregiver stress, and issues of self-esteem and shame.

Courtney approaches each person with respect, compassion, and unconditional positive regard, inviting clients to tell their stories in their own words and partnering with them to identify practical steps forward. She integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor care to each individual’s needs. Courtney works with people across many stages of life and identities, including members of the LGBT community, and addresses specific concerns like addiction recovery, anger, commitment and abandonment issues, and coping with major life changes.

She is based in Ohio and offers supportive, strengths-oriented psychotherapy aimed at helping people build coping skills, process painful experiences, and reconnect to meaning and hope in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Courtney integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - an approach often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change, especially in areas like addiction recovery and lifestyle shifts; this method focuses on building motivation and practical steps toward goals. When addressing trauma and abuse, Courtney incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques that honor safety and pacing while helping process distressing memories and their impact on daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Courtney works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts interventions over time so the therapeutic plan feels like a good fit and responds to what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support without geographic constraints. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, and expand access to ongoing care and coaching between appointments.
