About Mindy
Mindy Battles is an independent licensed social worker in Ohio with 10 years of practice as an LISW. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, changes in life, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and caregiver strain. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Mindy draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered work to focus on feelings and attachment needs that underpin patterns people get stuck in. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and take values-based steps. Conversations are practical and focused on what someone can try between sessions.
Her background includes substantial work with older adults and people coping with aging, hospice and end-of-life issues, dementia-related stress, and caregiver burdens. That experience shapes how she supports someone through grief, loss, isolation, and changes that come with later life.
In sessions she aims to listen, reflect what’s happening in relationships, and help name and regulate strong emotions. She uses straightforward tools from proven approaches to address anger, low self-esteem, mood disorders, and communication problems. Therapy also covers concerns like codependency, control issues, and feelings of emptiness.
Practical matters are handled up front: cost varies with location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients choose the See online therapy options button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How EFT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and expressing core emotions. It looks at how emotions shape patterns in relationships and can help when feelings are hard to name or when interaction patterns repeat. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that align with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early and current relationship needs and how those needs affect closeness, trust, and conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as sessions unfold.
Confirm the available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing commute time and letting someone choose a quieter moment during their day. Some formats need less bandwidth or are shorter check-ins, which can help when scheduling around work or caregiving. Talk with the therapist about how to make sessions practical and manageable within your routine.
