About Brenda

Brenda Haney is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing depression, addiction, relationship stress, trauma, anger, and self-esteem struggles. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps so clients can feel understood and move forward. Brenda brings 27 years of experience to sessions and aims to tailor each conversation to the person in front of her.

She works from respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs most, whether that means learning new coping skills, addressing patterns in relationships, or managing strong emotions. Brenda uses a mix of approaches to match goals and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Over nearly three decades of practice Brenda has supported people through addiction and trauma recovery, and helped clients improve communication and resolve family-related stress. She also addresses issues such as attachment concerns, anger and control problems, hoarding, and guilt or shame. Her experience includes work with veterans and aging-related concerns.

In sessions she emphasizes clear, real tools that can be used between meetings. Conversations often include exploring values, changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and building emotion regulation skills. Brenda invites clients to set small, achievable goals and checks in on progress at each visit.

Brenda is licensed as an LCSW in Arizona and Oregon and practices in Ohio. She speaks English. To start, readers are encouraged to complete the site's intake steps and schedule a session based on availability.

How Brenda’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It is often useful for depression and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for mood and anxiety concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing strong feelings and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brenda will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and pick or combine methods that fit. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as goals evolve.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by cutting travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or between errands. It can also make shorter check-ins simple when needed, or allow sessions without using video if that feels better for someone. Ask about available session types when you schedule so the format matches your routine and goals.
