Brittany Byers, LMSW, LISW

Brittany Byers is a licensed social worker in Ohio who helps people facing midlife questions and major life shifts. She focuses on day-to-day concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and ADHD. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and realistic. Brittany emphasizes a strengths-based view and treats people as the experts in their own story.

Brittany earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Walden University and has worked in the field for ten years. Her background includes supporting people after physical trauma or emotional abuse and helping with parenting and relationship challenges. She has experience with mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and with substance use concerns.

In sessions she listens first and helps clients set practical goals. She uses approaches that focus on current problems and on what works now. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, building new coping skills, or drawing on what a person already does well.

Brittany describes therapy as a collaborative process. She supports people through changes like career transitions, divorce, caregiving stress, and fertility concerns. She also helps with communication problems, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and issues linked to family of origin.

The work tends to be straightforward and action-oriented while still making room for emotion. Brittany helps clients try new strategies between sessions and adjusts plans based on what is useful. Her approach is practical and grounded in real-life needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Brittany commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validating a person’s experience, and building on their strengths to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to find specific, practical ways to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away. That approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and managing impulsive responses. Each method targets everyday problems and offers concrete steps clients can try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brittany will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust strategies, and try different tools until a workable plan emerges.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same evidence-informed techniques, while adapting exercises and homework to your everyday life.
