Mindy Battles

Mindy Battles is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker who centers her practice on trauma-focused care and practical coping strategies. She brings a calm, warm presence and aims to meet people where they are on the road of life. Mindy uses clear, down-to-earth language so difficult topics feel easier to talk about.

With ten years in this role and a long history in social work, she has supported people through anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. Her background includes work with older adults and with concerns such as caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, dementia and Alzheimer’s related issues, and social isolation.

Mindy tailors sessions to each person using approaches that include Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She focuses on building respect and sensitivity into every conversation and adapts tools to fit what a person needs right now.

In practical terms she helps people manage panic, address trauma and abuse, and work through anger, relationship and communication problems. She also supports those facing chronic health challenges, cancer-related concerns, and the special stresses caregivers carry.

Mindy emphasizes collaboration on treatment plans so people feel comfortable with the steps they take. She encourages small, steady changes and offers support while people build skills for everyday life.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Mindy uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process and reduce the ongoing effects of traumatic events. This approach focuses on safe, gradual ways to talk about trauma and build coping skills that reduce distress in daily life.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work on relationship patterns and communication, helping people understand how past bonds shape current reactions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Mindy works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new concerns come up.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or reducing the need to arrange childcare. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well in remote sessions and help people apply skills between meetings.
