About Brittany

Brittany Byers is a licensed social worker practicing in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She draws on a decade of professional experience to support clients navigating trauma, emotional abuse, career transitions, and other life changes.

Background and approach

Brittany emphasizes the client as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths clients can use to move toward healthier, more satisfying lives. Holding both an LMSW and an LISW, she pairs practical, skills-based techniques with empathic listening to create a collaborative space for growth.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral strategies with client-centered and mindfulness-based tools, and she uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help people set and reach concrete goals. Brittany encourages courage and persistence in the face of difficult emotions and aims to empower clients to explore change at a pace that works for them.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It teaches practical skills such as behavioral activation and cognitive restructuring to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can explore their values and strengths at their own pace; it is helpful for building self-understanding and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brittany works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends techniques as appropriate and adjusts strategies over time so that the work aligns with what the client finds most useful.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other commitments and allow clients to use different formats as needs change while working toward their goals.
