About Brittany

Brittany Byers is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and life changes. She supports those dealing with relationship and parenting concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the aftereffects of physical or emotional trauma. Brittany speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use each day.

Brittany earned a Master of Social Work degree in 2015 and holds an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker credential, LISW, as well as LMSW. She brings ten years of professional experience across clinical settings. That background gives her a range of tools to draw on when someone needs steady guidance.

Her approach centers on the client. She respects each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions mix listening with strategies from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to reduce distress and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Brittany also uses trauma-focused methods when past harm affects daily functioning. She combines that with motivational interviewing to help people find the reasons they want change and to keep moving toward goals. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Practical concerns are part of the plan. Brittany helps people break big problems into small, doable steps, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress. This practical focus aims to make therapy useful between appointments.

How certain approaches translate to online care

Brittany uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process the impact of past physical or emotional harm. That approach focuses on understanding how trauma shows up now and on developing coping skills to reduce its hold on daily life.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's pace and priorities, offering support and reflection rather than directing the process.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common part of her work. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brittany will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and may shift as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so people can use a break at work or a quiet hour at home. Ask about the available session formats when scheduling to see what will work best for your routine.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
