About Mindy
Mindy Battles is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) who brings a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, caregiver stress, and related concerns such as codependency and isolation. Her manner is warm and easygoing, and she aims to meet people where they are in their lives.
Over a decade of recent clinical practice is part of her background, and she also draws on many more years of social work experience with older adults. That experience includes hospice and end-of-life care, dementia and Alzheimer’s support, and working with caregivers facing long-term stress. She uses techniques that fit each person’s needs rather than a single rigid method.
Her work leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-informed ideas, dialectical skills, and a client-centered style. Sessions combine practical skills, mindfulness, and conversation to help people handle painful feelings and make manageable changes. Mindy tailors the pace and topics to what each person wants to address.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. People can expect to collaborate on a plan they agree with and feel comfortable using. Mindy aims to empower clients to take steps toward clearer goals and healthier coping.
To start, she asks people to complete the intake steps and scheduling process so sessions can begin when timing fits both the client and therapist.
Therapeutic approaches for online care and fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match personal values. It can help people who feel stuck by shifting attention toward meaningful steps even when emotions are strong.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood symptoms with practical strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or reactions lead to repeated conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. That conversation guides which techniques are tried and how sessions are structured in a collaborative way.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about the available ways to meet and choose the option that fits everyday life. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, work breaks, or health needs, and phone options may be simpler when bandwidth or quiet time is limited. A clear plan helps therapy fit into a person’s routine without adding stress.
