Courtney Wilson, LISW

Courtney Wilson is an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as addictions, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, and anger. She also addresses parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, and career or life transitions.

Courtney trained at the bachelor and master levels in social work and has spent much of her career supporting people affected by sexual abuse. She listens to each person’s story and focuses on practical steps that reduce day-to-day distress. Sessions tend to centre on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, especially around addiction or habit-driven issues. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques to work with painful memories and responses.

Courtney works in a straightforward, respectful style. She talks through practical strategies for handling anger, managing stress, and repairing relationships. People can expect focused conversations, behavioral tools, and steps they can try outside sessions.

Her background includes long-term work with survivors of sexual abuse and people coping with family disruption. That experience informs how she helps with issues like abandonment, caregiving stress, and recovery from domestic violence. Courtney offers care in English and practices in Ohio.
