About Mindy
Mindy Battles is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker who centers her practice on meeting people where they are. She uses a warm, easygoing style to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. Mindy emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in everyday conversations about hard topics.
With ten years in the roles described for this profile and a longer history working with older adults, she brings experience with concerns such as caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, dementia-related worries, and social isolation. She also supports people facing trauma, abuse, anger, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and relationship and communication problems.
Mindy adapts her approach to each person. She draws on client-centered methods and practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
In session she aims to create straightforward, collaborative conversations. That often means breaking problems into manageable steps, practicing small skills, and checking in about what feels most useful. The focus is on what will improve daily life and functioning.
People who want help with caregiving strain, life purpose, feelings of emptiness, or complicated grief will find a gentle, practical ally. Mindy asks clients to be part of planning their work together and adjusts pace and goals as needed.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and build confidence to take small steps. It is useful for decisions, habit changes, and moments when motivation feels mixed.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting attention toward meaningful goals.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns of closeness and trust. It can help people understand relationship struggles, communication problems, and how past hurts affect present behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the person’s needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way rather than imposing a single method.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also gives flexibility to schedule around caregiving, medical appointments, or other obligations while keeping the focus on useful skills and steady progress. -
