About me
I am licensed in Ohio, as well as other states with 17 years of professional work experience. I have so much experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression, and much more. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Sometimes therapy can be a process of throwing out your “stuff” on the table and we both sift through it for patterns and insights. Sometimes it’s an experience where a third party takes a look at your life and helps you see things you just can’t see. I use a multitude of approaches depending on what you need and are looking for, and I love helping people figure things out and learning more about themselves. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Brandi Cihlar. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Cihlar allows me to express myself without fear of judgment. I feel lighter and more grounded leaving their sessions.

I never tried therapy before here and she makes it so easy to open up to someone. She’s so friendly and she’s always checking in on me to see how I’m doing and if I’m okay.

I feel very heard when I have sessions with Dr. Cihlar. She gives me multiple option on what to work on and how, and it makes working on myself less daunting and difficult.
