About Mindy
Mindy Battles is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio who uses hypnotherapy alongside talk-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She brings a calm, warm presence to sessions and focuses on meeting each person where they are.
Her approach aims to create an easy, respectful space to talk about tough feelings and find practical steps forward. Over a decade of clinical practice informs her work.
Background and approach
She has substantial background supporting older adults and people coping with illness, caregiver strain, end-of-life concerns, grief, and social isolation. That experience shaped a practical way of working that emphasizes listening first, then shaping strategies together. Mindy blends hypnotherapy with acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, attachment-based perspectives, and cognitive behavioral techniques.
She uses these methods to help with mood concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship struggles, and chronic stress. Sessions often include straightforward skills for managing symptoms and clearer thinking about difficult choices. Her style is gentle and adaptable.
She checks in about what feels comfortable and adjusts the pace as needed. People can expect conversational sessions that also include brief skills practice or guided exercises when helpful. Mindy values collaboration.
She helps people identify small, doable steps toward goals like better sleep, calmer reactions, or more satisfying daily routines. If someone is ready to work on change, she focuses on practical supports that fit their life.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Hypnotherapy can guide people into focused relaxation and imagery to address symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, and stress. In an online session this often involves verbal cues, calming pacing, and short guided exercises that help a person notice and shift patterns of thought and tension.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values. It uses simple exercises to change the relationship to difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them, which can help with grief, depression, and life transitions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in how people connect with others and how those patterns affect current relationships. It helps identify long-standing interaction styles and develop new ways of relating that feel more supported and satisfying.
Finding the best fit is part of the work. Mindy will collaborate with each person to choose approaches and adjust techniques based on goals, comfort, and how someone responds. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions whether someone prefers more conversation, guided practice, or short skill drills.
Online formats add practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for guided exercises and deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between sessions.
