About Mindy
Mindy Battles is an LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She previously spent many years as a social worker with older adults and continues to support aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, caregiver stress, dementia-related concerns, and cancer-related needs. That background shapes how she notices practical daily challenges and caregiving strains.
Mindy uses straightforward, talk-based methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts and habits that maintain distress. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered work, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when they fit the situation.
Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. Mindy helps identify unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and plan small, manageable changes. She works through grief, life transitions, isolation, codependency, communication problems, and issues like guilt, shame, or emptiness in concrete ways.
Her approach is practical and person-focused: she checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan as needed. People who need help with mood disorders, caregiver strain, or finding direction often choose to explore options with her.
How CBT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
This therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going, and then to try small changes in thinking and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related difficulties.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work on values and willingness to experience difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful actions. Attachment-Based ideas focus on how current relationships and early bonds influence reactions and trust in close connections.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and the therapist agree on steps to practice between sessions and evaluate progress together.
Formats for online work are not listed here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. People often find it simpler to try skills in everyday settings and then discuss how those attempts went at the next appointment.
