About Brittany

Brittany Byers is a licensed social worker who focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, ADHD, and life changes. She speaks plainly and helps clients sort through immediate problems and practical next steps. Her style is guided and respectful, aimed at making hard conversations easier to manage.

She completed a Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2015 and holds the Licensed Master Social Worker credential and the Licensed Independent Social Worker credential.

Background and approach

The credentials are MI LMSW 6801119349 and OH LISW I.1800814-SUPV. Brittany has a decade of professional experience in behavioral health in Ohio. In sessions she draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered work to help people identify patterns and try different responses.

She uses straightforward tools to reduce symptoms and build everyday routines that feel more doable. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods also shape short-term goals when that fits the need. Brittany has helped people dealing with trauma or emotional abuse and those managing mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.

She also offers support for parenting concerns, family stress, communication problems, caregiver strain, and substance use challenges. Her work emphasizes the person’s strengths while offering practical strategies. Her practice offers phone, video, chat, and messaging formats so clients can choose what fits their schedules.

Sessions are arranged using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her methods translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping clients lead the conversation. The therapist follows the client’s priorities, offers reflection, and helps shape goals based on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, lays out clear links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple skills to test and change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing impulses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on how things are working. That teamwork helps tailor brief practical plans or longer work depending on the situation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep appointments around work, school, or caregiving duties. They also let people practice skills between sessions and check in when new challenges arise.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
