About Cecilia
Cecilia Wheeler is a licensed social worker in Ohio with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and life changes. Cecilia emphasizes practical steps and honest conversation to help people move forward.
She approaches sessions with respect for each person's knowledge of their own life. Cecilia believes clients bring strengths to every session and she works to build on those strengths.
Background and approach
She encourages small, manageable goals that fit daily routines and real-world demands. Cecilia uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to improve focus and calm.
Trauma-focused work is used when past hurts affect current functioning. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Cecilia helps people create clear steps for change and checks progress along the way.
She offers support for parenting concerns while helping clients manage stress, relationships, work strain, grief, addiction-related struggles, and attention difficulties. Her style is steady and practical. She invites clients to try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process straightforward and respectful.

How specific approaches shape online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful alternatives. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and is practical for online sessions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal techniques that translate well to coaching-style work during phone or video sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cecilia will discuss your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust as you learn what works. You and the therapist work together to choose strategies that fit your life and priorities.
Online therapy makes regular work on goals easier to fit into a busy schedule. Video calls let you use nonverbal cues and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, skill practice, and ongoing coaching between calls. These options aim to give flexibility so therapy can fit into daily routines.
