About Brittany
Brittany Lauer is an LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker practicing in Ohio with six years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, family and parenting concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She also works with adoption and foster care matters, panic disorder and panic attacks, and pregnancy and childbirth issues.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions are practical and organized. Brittany uses clear strategies and step-by-step tools rather than long lectures or vague plans.
Before returning to social work, she spent years raising her children and then worked as a pregnancy counselor at a private adoption agency. She has provided school-based mental health services and taught anxiety management to parents, students, and staff in grades 4 through 8.
In clinical work she has offered CBT for anxiety disorders, adjustment concerns, oppositional behaviors, bipolar disorder, Asperger's, and ADHD. Her background includes helping parents develop strategies they can use at home to support their children and reduce family stress.
In sessions she emphasizes strengths and practical advocacy for client needs. People can expect direct, solution-focused conversations and homework to practice skills between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How CBT and Client-Centered Methods Work Online
CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and habits that keep problems going. In short sessions she will help identify specific thoughts tied to anxiety or low mood and try different responses. Homework and small behavior experiments are common to test what helps in day-to-day life.Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and reflecting what the client says. That approach supports people who want to understand their feelings and figure out practical next steps. It is useful when someone needs space to talk through parenting stress, grief, or relationship tensions without a rigid agenda.
Finding the right method is part of the work. She will discuss CBT and client-centered options and choose together what fits the client's goals, preferences, and current needs. That collaboration can change over time as progress is tracked.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to confirm which session formats are offered and what will work best for everyday life.
