About Mindy
Mindy Battles is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio. She draws on a mix of practical therapies to help people facing anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. Her style is warm and easygoing and she aims to meet people where they are.
She brings ten years of experience as an LISW and a long background in social work with older adults. That experience informs how she approaches concerns like caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, isolation, and aging-related issues.
Background and approach
She also works with mood disorders, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and relationship and communication problems. Mindy favors approaches that focus on the person in front of her and on skills people can use right away. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking.
She also draws on Client-Centered and Attachment-Based methods to build trust and emotional safety. Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation, practical skills, and gradual steps toward goals. Mindy adjusts pacing and tools to match each person’s needs, and she checks in about the plan so it stays relevant.
Practical tasks between sessions are offered when helpful. Mindy offers online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. All work is conducted in English and is limited to clients within the United States.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It’s often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it pairs values-focused goals with practical actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skill-driven, and it can help with mood disorders, panic, and stress by teaching concrete tools to use day to day.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mindy will collaborate to decide which methods fit best for your goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts pacing and tools as you go so the plan feels manageable and relevant.
Online therapy offers ways to make sessions fit life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options help people connect from different places and schedules while focusing on the same practical steps and emotional work as office-based therapy.
