About Brittany
Brittany Lauer is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She also supports parents navigating family challenges, parenting strain, adoption and foster care concerns, pregnancy and childbirth stress, and struggles with panic disorder and panic attacks. Her background includes work in schools and adoption services, so she understands family dynamics and practical parenting pressures.
Brittany uses a strengths-focused style in sessions. She centers the person's goals and listens for what matters most. Conversations are direct and practical, with space to talk about feelings and try new ways of handling day-to-day problems.
She has used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and tests new ways of responding. She also follows a Client-Centered Therapy approach that emphasizes respect, empathy, and meeting each person where they are.
Brittany has six years of clinical experience and earlier work as a pregnancy counselor at an adoption agency. She has provided school-based mental health support and anxiety training for parents, students, and staff. Those roles shaped her focus on clear strategies families can apply at home and school.
Her tone in sessions is caring and advocacy-driven. She aims to help people identify strengths, build coping skills, and set concrete steps forward. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy flow and complete the matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead. In practice this means the therapist asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their priorities and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, try experiments, and build new coping skills for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Brittany will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then shape sessions to fit those needs. She aims to match techniques to what the person wants to work on, adjusting plans over time as progress becomes clear.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know which options are available. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It can also help fit brief check-ins into a busy day, allow conversations when getting to an office is difficult, or remove the need to be on camera for a shorter session. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Brittany, use these approaches to help clients build skills and handle day-to-day challenges without promising specific outcomes.
