Blythe Steingel

Blythe Steingel is an Ohio licensed independent social worker, LISW, with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common stresses people bring to therapy such as anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship and family concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. She also works with career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-esteem and body image.

Blythe uses a mix of practical approaches in sessions. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and attachment patterns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered work, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills as needed. Sessions tend to include clear exercises, emotion-focused conversations, and skill building.

Blythe aims to help people name difficult feelings and notice patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps clients practice new ways of reacting to stress and improve everyday communication. When someone struggles with chronic illness, caregiving stress, or aging concerns, she attends to the practical and emotional sides of those challenges.

Her background includes long-term work with a variety of concerns including trauma and abuse, codependency, divorce and separation, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). Blythe also supports people facing guilt, shame, forgiveness work, and impulsivity issues.

People who choose her can expect a straightforward style that mixes listening with hands-on tools. To begin, she asks about current struggles and short-term goals, then suggests a plan that uses emotion-focused work alongside behavioral strategies.
