About Brittany
Brittany Byers is a licensed social worker who helps people manage strong emotions and get through tough moments. She focuses on practical steps people can take when stress, anger, anxiety, depression, or addiction make daily life harder. Brittany invites clients to take the first step toward change at a pace that feels doable.
She earned a Master of Social Work in 2015 and holds Ohio licenses as an LMSW and an LISW.
Background and approach
Over ten years she has worked with people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, career setbacks, and mood concerns like bipolar disorder and ADHD. She has also supported those who have survived physical trauma or emotional abuse. Brittany centers sessions on each person’s strengths.
She listens first, then helps clients set clear, short-term goals. Conversations often include practical tools to reduce reactivity, manage cravings, or improve daily routines. Her approach blends client-centered care with structured tools.
That means space to tell your story alongside strategies you can try between sessions. Clients might practice simple mindfulness exercises, test out new coping skills, or rebuild patterns that contribute to stress and anger. She works with common life challenges such as grief, divorce, and caregiver stress, plus concerns like codependency, impulse control, and communication problems.
Brittany aims to support people so they feel more in control of their choices and better able to handle setbacks.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy starts with listening to your story and building on the strengths you already have; it helps when someone needs space to be heard and to clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or cope with mood swings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help people notice urges or strong feelings without acting on them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying different tools, checking how they feel in real situations, and adjusting the plan together as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone calls can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief coaching and tracking between meetings. These options aim to make consistent care easier to fit into everyday life.
