About Mindy
Mindy Battles is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio who uses emotionally-focused ways of working alongside other practical methods. She focuses on helping people handle anxiety, depression, grief, life changes, and relationship and family concerns. Her approach aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk and feel heard.
Mindy draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and understand their emotions and how those feelings shape close connections.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox for spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She has a decade of clinical experience as a licensed social worker and has worked with many issues that often come with aging, caregiving, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. That background gives her practical perspective when grief, loss, or caregiver stress are present. Mindy aims for sessions that feel warm and easygoing.
She focuses on respect, sensitivity, and tailoring conversation to each person’s needs. Treatment plans are made together so people agree on what comes next. People who choose her can expect straightforward talk, guided emotion work, and practical coping strategies.
She invites those ready to make changes to take the first step and begin a collaborative process toward clearer goals.

Online support
Emotion work and practical tools delivered online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and make sense of strong feelings that drive behavior in close relationships. It focuses on recognizing emotions, naming what matters in relationships, and trying new ways of responding to deepen understanding or change interaction patterns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward values-based action. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where small, steady steps matter. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and can help with trust, communication, and feeling less stuck in old roles.
Mindy treats finding the best approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for full sessions with visual cues, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or brief exercises. These options help people fit therapy into busy days, handle short appointment windows, or keep sessions shorter when needed.
