About Mindy
Mindy Battles is an independent licensed social worker in Ohio who combines practical skills with a calm, person-focused approach. She uses clear, down-to-earth methods to help people manage strong feelings and stressful life changes. Mindy brings a steady presence and a respectful way of working to each conversation.
With ten years as an LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker, she draws on long experience supporting adults through grief, loss, anxiety, depression, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with older adults and with issues that often come with aging and end-of-life care. That experience informs how she responds to worries about health, memory, and role changes. Mindy relies on approaches that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and build skills for everyday life.
She uses acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, and emotion-regulation skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She adapts conversations to fit each person’s pace and goals. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Mindy helps clients sort priorities, reduce overwhelm, and practice new ways of responding when anger, anxiety, or grief show up. She emphasizes compassion and listening while helping people set doable goals. People who want help with mood disorders, relationship struggles, attention challenges, or feelings of emptiness can expect straightforward guidance and gentle challenge.
Mindy encourages collaboration when choosing techniques and when shaping a plan that fits daily life.

Using proven approaches online to manage strong emotions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation or meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. It often helps with anxiety, mood symptoms, and anger by teaching concrete skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels manageable, so clients stay involved in choosing the path forward.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video makes it possible to have a face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter coaching moments, or when a written note helps track progress. These options let people fit therapy into busy days and keep momentum between meetings.
