About: My name is Ethan Briggs and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervision Designation (LISW-S) in the state of Ohio. First, I want to thank you for looking into mental health support. It can be intimidating and scary to take the step to reach out for help. I hope those that I work with feel safe and confident in their ability to begin the process of coping and healing with whatever concern you might bring into my office. I work with my clients to utilize strengths they already have in order to manage emotions and the everyday stresses of life, while learning new, lifelong skills to take with them for future needs. I am a strong believer in utilizing evidenced based interventions to help support each individual's process of being in therapy such as CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Solution Focused Therapy while providing ongoing psychoeducation to have a better understanding of yourself.
