About Mindy
Mindy Battles is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio. She brings a calm, down-to-earth presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her work commonly addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD along with relationship and family concerns.
Mindy draws on approaches that help people notice what matters and take small, steady steps toward it. She uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help manage overwhelming emotions and break unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to create respectful, person-focused conversations. Her background includes a decade of clinical experience as a licensed social worker. She has long experience supporting people facing life transitions, caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, and end-of-life concerns.
That history informs a practical style that prioritizes comfort and clear goals. In session she aims to meet each person where they are. Mindy listens first, then adapts tools and exercises to match someone’s daily life and priorities.
She emphasizes collaboration and checks in about what is working as therapy progresses. People who choose her can expect straightforward talk, coping skills they can practice between sessions, and a steady focus on small changes that add up. Mindy frames therapy as a team effort to reduce distress and build better routines.
Using practical therapies online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with life transitions, low motivation, and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to handle intense emotions and reduce reactive behavior.Mindy approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about their goals, try approaches that fit daily life, and adjust plans when something isn’t working. The aim is to find tools that feel useful and realistic for the person’s routine.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or homework between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while using the therapist’s chosen approaches.
