About Mindy
Mindy Battles is an LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes, and she also addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She began her career focused on older adults and brings that background into work with caregiving, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and dementia-related stress. Her practice includes attention to attachment issues, caregiver stress, and isolation or loneliness that can accompany life transitions.
Mindy uses several practical approaches. She relies on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to build trusting conversations and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation.
Sessions focus on what is causing distress now and what the person wants to change. Conversations are straightforward and paced to fit each person’s needs. Mindy aims to collaborate on goals and on plans that can be used between sessions.
People who choose her often bring concerns about caregiving, coping with loss, relationship stress, mood problems, or burnout from helping others. Those seeking support related to aging, cancer, or end-of-life issues will find those topics are part of her experience.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions where focus and motivation are the goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and changing behaviors. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression, mood problems, and managing ADHD-related habits. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how relationships shape feelings and expectations, and it is applied to relationship stress, caregiving dynamics, and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mindy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current concerns. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what the client wants to focus on.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day and keeping continuity during life changes. Confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a lunch break, reduce travel time, or use shorter meetings for quick coping-skill practice. Licensed professionals can work with clients on the same therapeutic tasks online as in person, including values-based planning, cognitive skill practice, emotion regulation exercises, and problem-focused conversations.
