About Brittany

Brittany Byers is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, ADHD, and life changes. She emphasizes practical steps and steady support so people can move toward clearer goals. Her approach is direct and respectful, aiming to make therapy feel useful from the first sessions.

Brittany completed a Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2015 and holds LMSW and LISW credentials. She has about 10 years of professional experience working in Ohio. That experience includes supporting people with career strain, parenting concerns, bipolar disorder, and recovery from physical or emotional trauma.

In sessions she centers the person’s own perspective and strengths. She uses client-centered methods to listen closely, then applies focused strategies like cognitive behavioral work and solution-focused techniques. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in when they match a person’s goals.

Brittany helps people break problems into manageable steps and build skills they can use outside sessions. She often works on communication skills, impulse control, and coping tools for stress and cravings. Progress is approached as a series of small, practical changes rather than a single big shift.

Her style is supportive and collaborative: clients set the pace and priorities while she offers guidance, feedback, and techniques. People considering therapy are encouraged to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time to see if the fit feels right.

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do

Brittany often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered Therapy means she centers what matters most to the person and builds from existing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing new ways of responding to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy when helpful, teaching present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These approaches are practical and can be adapted to concerns such as stress, addiction coping, relationship communication, and managing ADHD symptoms.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brittany treats this as a collaborative process where goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities guide which methods are used. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts techniques to better match each person’s needs.

If you are interested in online options, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Clarifying formats beforehand helps make sessions fit into your schedule, whether you need something that’s easier on bandwidth, a shorter check-in during a work break, or a format that does not require being on camera. Many people find online sessions convenient for sustaining regular work on goals and practicing skills between meetings.
