About Scott
Scott Wilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional (LCP) with 30 years of clinical experience. He is licensed in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska and works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes.
Scott focuses on helping people accept and work through difficult emotions rather than avoiding them. He emphasizes psychological flexibility and using values to guide decisions. That can mean short-term steps to reduce panic or longer conversations about what matters most after a job, relationship, or health change.
In sessions he draws on clear, practical methods. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice and accept internal experiences while moving toward personal goals. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to track thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing changes and needs help finding internal reasons to act.
Scott talks with clients about concrete behavior changes and how those changes connect to values. He helps people practice new responses to anxiety, manage anger more effectively, and build confidence through achievable steps. He also addresses issues such as guilt and shame, panic attacks, sexuality, and men's concerns.
Scott works in Iowa and offers sessions in English. To begin, people follow the practice's matching steps to schedule an initial appointment and discuss next steps.
How Scott brings ACT, CBT and motivational work online
Scott uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that connect to their values. ACT sessions focus on practical exercises and small steps to increase psychological flexibility and reduce avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thought patterns and behavior cycles that maintain anxiety or depression. CBT sessions often include tracking thoughts, trying brief behavioral experiments, and practicing new coping skills between meetings.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure about making changes by helping them clarify personal reasons for change and build confidence to act. That approach is collaborative and can be combined with ACT or CBT techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Scott will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to determine which methods to emphasize. Clients and the therapist decide together on practical steps and how progress will be checked.
