Brittany LauerLISW

Brittany Lauer is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and pregnancy and childbirth concerns. She also supports people coping with self-esteem challenges, life changes, parenting questions, anger, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Her tone is practical and caring, and she focuses on real-world strategies families can use day to day.

Before returning to clinical social work she spent ten years as a stay-at-home mom to four children. That experience shaped how she listens to parents and caregivers and how she helps them balance home demands with personal wellbeing. It also informs her work with adoption and foster care and grief related to pregnancy and adoption.

Brittany draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s own goals and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. In sessions she offers concrete tools for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and behavior challenges that people can try between meetings.

She has provided school-based mental health services and anxiety training for parents, students, and staff at a local middle school. She has also counseled at a private adoption agency, offering grief and pregnancy-related support.

Brittany describes her approach as strengths based and advocacy oriented. She aims to be compassionate and practical, helping clients clarify what they want and take small steps toward it. If her style seems like a fit, she invites prospective clients to connect and discuss goals.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and helping clients set their own goals, which can work well in conversation-based online sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches specific skills for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and behavior changes that can be practiced between meetings.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life, and can adjust as needs change over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, fewer travel demands, and the chance to use written tools or worksheets during a session. The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. Overall, online work can make it easier to try CBT skill practice and client-centered conversations without rearranging an entire day.
