About Cecilia
Cecilia Wheeler is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 23 years of experience based in Ohio. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, grief, and the impacts of trauma and abuse. Cecilia also supports those managing parenting pressures, relationship strain, addiction challenges, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.
Her approach begins by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they already have. Sessions are practical and focused on small, clear steps clients can try between meetings.
How Cecilia works
Cecilia uses familiar tools like problem-solving, emotion regulation skills, and mindfulness practices to help people manage difficult moments. She draws on methods from cognitive behavioral work to spot patterns that keep problems going, and on trauma-focused strategies to address painful memories safely. Dialectical behavior skills are used to calm strong emotions and improve coping.
Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and track progress. Cecilia aims for straightforward, respectful conversations where people feel heard and understood. She frames the work as a collaboration and helps clients choose approaches that match their needs.
The emphasis is on making change feel doable rather than overwhelming. Throughout her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns related to career stress, compassion fatigue, intimacy, anger, and attention challenges like ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and tailored to each person’s pacing and goals.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear tools to test and shift everyday thinking patterns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. It can be especially helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or reactions are intense.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cecilia will talk with each person about their goals and life situation, then recommend methods that fit. That collaboration means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility so people can pick what works best for their schedule and comfort.
