Elanna Wilson-Guzman , LISW, LCSW

Elanna Wilson-Guzman is a licensed social worker with ten years of clinical experience, practicing in Ohio and also licensed in Nevada. She holds the credentials LISW and LCSW - Licensed Independent Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker - which reflect advanced training in social work and clinical practice. Elanna has focused her practice on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family conflicts, and recover from trauma and abuse. She also supports individuals facing depression, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related concerns.

Known for a respectful and compassionate approach, Elanna shapes conversations and treatment plans to match each person’s distinct needs and life circumstances. Her work emphasizes sensitivity to individual backgrounds and the practical steps that help clients move forward. Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Elanna acknowledges that decision while offering steady, individualized support. Her practice aims to create a collaborative space where goals, strengths, and coping strategies guide the path of care.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Elanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and healing from difficult experiences. One common thread in her work is skills-based interventions that help people manage stress, anxiety, and mood challenges by teaching concrete coping strategies and problem-solving tools. These approaches are useful for day-to-day symptoms and improving emotional regulation.

She also applies trauma-informed methods when working with clients affected by abuse or traumatic events, focusing on safety, pacing, and rebuilding a sense of control while addressing trauma-related reactions. For relationship and family concerns, Elanna draws on relational and family-focused strategies that improve communication, boundaries, and patterns that contribute to conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elanna partners with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time as needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy fits each person’s life and values.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who live far from a therapist’s office. Working with licensed professionals remotely can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and fit therapy into everyday life.
