Mindy Battles, LISW

Mindy Battles is an LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, trauma and anger. She also supports people coping with life changes, caregiving strain, and mood concerns.

Mindy began her career in social work focused on older adults and hospice-related care. That background shaped how she approaches difficult conversations about loss, aging, and end-of-life concerns. She draws on a range of approaches to address symptoms and day-to-day practical problems.

Her way of working is straightforward and person-centered. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on concrete skills for coping. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns that fuel anger or worry, and she brings mindfulness and emotion-regulation skills to help slow intense reactions.

Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and communication problems. Dialectical behavior therapy strategies are used when stronger emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-guided action when people feel stuck.

Mindy adapts conversations to the individual rather than following a rigid script. She invites clients to set goals and checks in about what is working. Practical pacing and clear steps are emphasized, with attention to grief, caregiver stress, and the challenges of major life transitions.
