About Cecilia

Cecilia Wheeler is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with 23 years of professional experience helping individuals and families navigate difficult life challenges. She works with a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting difficulties, motivation and self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief, addiction, anger, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Cecilia approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks for strengths that can be built on to address current struggles. Her work emphasizes practical strategies and compassionate support to help clients increase confidence, manage symptoms, and move toward meaningful change. She values the courage it takes to begin therapy and affirms the importance of that first step.

With a focus on collaboration, Cecilia combines evidence-based techniques and a strengths-based perspective to tailor care to each client’s needs and goals. She aims to create a respectful therapeutic relationship that supports growth, resilience, and clearer coping during times of transition or distress.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Cecilia integrates several evidence-informed approaches to address symptoms and build coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress while teaching practical skills for everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and chronic stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted strategies to process and reduce the impact of traumatic experiences while restoring a sense of safety and agency.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cecilia collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adjust strategies over time to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.



Online therapy provides practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats enable ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and adaptable scheduling so that therapy can fit more naturally into everyday life with licensed professionals offering structured, focused care.
