About Courtney
Courtney Wilson is an Ohio LISW - licensed independent social worker with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with addictions, relationship and family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, and stress. She also supports concerns around intimacy, parenting, self-esteem, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Courtney draws on practical, goal-focused methods to notice patterns that keep problems going. She listens to a person’s story and works with them to try different responses to old thoughts and habits. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps people can take between meetings. Courtney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques alongside Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy when those approaches fit the concern. She explains specific strategies and practices so people can decide what to try and why. People who meet with her can expect straightforward conversation about goals, patterns, and small experiments to test new ways of coping. She encourages practical skill-building for problems such as substance use, relationship strain, parenting stress, and intense emotions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary depending on location.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It helps with anxiety, depression, and pattern-based problems like shame or low self-esteem. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, often used when people are working on substance use or other difficult behavior changes.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, previous attempts, and preferences, then recommend techniques to try. Decisions about pacing and what methods to use are made together so the plan fits current needs.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people connect from quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can still focus on skill practice, homework, and progress reviews in remote sessions, while adapting exercises and pacing to the online setting.
