About Courtney
Courtney Wilson is a licensed independent social worker with 14 years of experience helping people navigate difficult life moments. She listens to each person's story and aims to offer clear, practical support. Many clients come for help with addictions, relationship and family stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, and parenting concerns.
She works in straightforward, respectful ways. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small, doable steps. She values compassion and unconditional positive regard while helping people build skills to cope and heal.
Background and approach
Courtney uses approaches that break problems into manageable pieces. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, especially around substance use and commitment issues.
Her background includes a bachelor’s and master’s degree in social work and many years supporting survivors of sexual abuse. That experience informs how she approaches trauma and safety when people bring painful histories into sessions. People who choose her can expect a calm listener who also offers practical tools.
She helps with parenting challenges, grief, intimacy, self-esteem, and life transitions. Sessions are tailored to each person’s pace and priorities.

Approaches Courtney lists

How these approaches work in online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. In online sessions this can mean tracking thoughts, trying new behaviors between appointments, and reviewing progress together. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and habit change.Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding a person’s own reasons to change. The therapist asks open questions and reflects back what matters to the client, helping build commitment for things like reducing substance use or making relationship changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past attempts, and preferences. Then she and the client try methods that fit and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when a written conversation fits better into a schedule. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to use therapy in everyday life.
