About Brenda

Brenda Haney brings a compassionate, strengths-based presence to people seeking help with addictions, relationship struggles, trauma, anger, depression, and self-esteem. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity while shaping conversations and care plans to the individual needs of each client.

Background and approach

Brenda's practice centers on practical, skill-based work aimed at helping clients make meaningful changes in their lives. With 27 years as a licensed clinical social worker, Brenda combines evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing with a client-centered stance.

She has worked across a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, communication and control problems, substance misuse, domestic violence, and complicated grief or guilt. Brenda is licensed in multiple states and offers therapy from her Ohio location while tailoring the process to each person’s goals and comfort level.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Brenda frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values, develop psychological flexibility, and take action toward meaningful life directions. Finally, her use of Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and attuned listening to make clients feel heard and understood while they explore change.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic work. Brenda collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, personal preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides practical flexibility for many people. These options allow clients to access consistent support from a licensed professional while fitting sessions into busy schedules, managing mobility constraints, or maintaining continuity during life transitions.
