Brittany Byers, LMSW, LISW

Brittany Byers earned a Master of Social Work from Walden University in 2015 and brings ten years of professional experience helping people navigate difficult seasons of life. Independently licensed in Ohio as an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) and an LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker), she works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She has also supported many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Brittany views each person as the expert of their own story and centers therapy on the client’s strengths. She emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional support so clients can address patterns that cause distress and build a more manageable, fulfilling life. Whether the need is short-term coaching to tackle a specific problem or longer-term therapy for complex concerns, she collaborates with clients to set meaningful goals, identify workable steps, and empower sustainable change. Her approach is grounded in respect, encouragement, and a focus on helping clients move forward at a pace that fits their values and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Brittany draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people build insight, strengthen self-directed decision making, and address relationship or self-esteem concerns in a way that fits their values.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, mood challenges, and patterns that contribute to stress. Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping techniques that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Brittany collaborates with each person to determine what methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set priorities, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
