About Brittany
Brittany Lauer is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, parenting challenges, anger, bipolar conditions, and ADHD. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people find practical steps they can use day to day.
Brittany returned to clinical work after years focused on raising her children. That experience shaped how she thinks about routines, school struggles, and everyday stressors for parents.
Background and approach
She also worked as a pregnancy counselor at a personal adoption agency, helping people navigate grief and loss tied to adoption choices. In school settings she provided mental health support for students and guidance for parents. She offered anxiety training to students, parents, and school staff for grades 4 through 8.
Those roles gave her hands-on experience with behavior concerns and strategies parents can try at home. Brittany uses a strengths-based, client-centered approach. She listens first and helps people choose goals that feel realistic.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different actions to change daily patterns. She describes herself as compassionate and practical. Sessions tend to focus on workable strategies, problem solving, and small steps that add up.
People who want straightforward guidance and a supportive listener often find her approach helpful.
How client-centered and CBT approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals. In online sessions this means the therapist asks about what matters most and mirrors concerns back so goals become clear and practical. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and tries small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. Online CBT often uses short exercises, homework tasks, and check-ins to track what changes between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brittany will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. Together they review what helps, adjust goals, and try different strategies until something feels useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility that helps with busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging support quick updates, brief problem-solving, and ongoing connection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to use therapy around work, school, and family life.
