About Cecilia

Cecilia Wheeler is a licensed Ohio social worker with 23 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, motivation and self-esteem concerns. She takes a strengths-based approach, helping individuals identify and build on the resources they already possess to manage life transitions, relationship and family issues, grief, addictions, anger, career concerns, depression, ADHD, and intimacy-related difficulties.

As a LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker - Cecilia emphasizes collaboration and respects that each person is the expert on their own story. She works to create a supportive environment where practical skills and insight come together to address presenting concerns and cultivate confidence. Beginning therapy can require courage, and Cecilia acknowledges that first step while offering steady support as people move toward their goals.

Her practice addresses a broad range of emotional and behavioral issues with a focus on realistic strategies, validation, and helping clients reconnect with their strengths and values.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then develop practical skills to change patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and motivation difficulties. It is goal-oriented and often focuses on concrete strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. It is useful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, anger, and behaviors that feel overwhelming.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and understanding the effects of traumatic experiences while building coping skills to reduce their ongoing impact. It is tailored to help people recover a sense of safety and agency following trauma and abuse.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cecilia Wheeler works with clients and licensed professionals to explore needs, goals, and personal preferences and to adjust methods as therapy progresses so the approach fits the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when in-person visits are difficult. These options allow clients to access therapeutic support from different locations and to use formats that feel most comfortable for their communication style.
