About Courtney
Courtney Wilson, LISW, is a licensed independent social worker in Ohio with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people on addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and related issues using the language clients bring to sessions. She emphasizes listening to each person's story and treating them with respect and unconditional positive regard.
Courtney uses practical approaches in sessions. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior patterns. She uses Motivational Interviewing to support people making changes around substance use and other behaviors. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past abuse or traumatic experiences are part of the presenting concerns.
Her focus includes intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, grief, self-esteem, anger, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she attends to are abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, body image, caregiver stress, commitment and separation, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol addiction. She also addresses feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, self-harm, and issues around pregnancy and childbirth.
Sessions are delivered in plain language and aim to be straightforward. She listens, helps people sort priorities, and suggests concrete steps to try between meetings. Courtneys practice centers on collaboration and practical skills rather than jargon.
Clients can expect a clinician who centers their story and uses evidence-informed tools to address symptoms and patterns. Her 14 years of work include a strong focus on sexual abuse and trauma-related presentations. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online care
Courtsney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to build alternate behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing focuses on supporting a person’s own reasons for change and is often used with substance use or ambivalence about behavior change. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past abuse or traumatic events and works to reduce trauma-related symptoms and distress.Choosing the best approach is part of the process. She collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Working remotely can also help people access a licensed professional when in-person appointments are difficult to schedule.
