Laura Wiedlebacher

Laura Wiedlebacher is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 26 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She starts by listening to each person’s story and helping them build on the strengths they already have.

She believes people know their own goals best and aims to support them in reaching those goals. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with a focus on clear steps you can try between meetings. She stresses that deciding to seek change takes courage and that small steps can lead to meaningful differences.

In therapy she helps people name what’s most troubling and then looks for ways to reduce symptoms and improve daily life. That might include learning new coping skills, practicing different ways to communicate, or developing strategies to manage panic and anxiety. She also works with issues like abandonment, body image, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Her approach draws from several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. She uses these methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. The goal is to create workable solutions that fit real life.

Clients can expect a steady, supportive presence and practical suggestions to try between sessions. The emphasis is on collaboration, gradual change, and building confidence to handle life’s challenges.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Laura often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people manage symptoms and make concrete changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can decrease reactivity and help with stress and panic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then adapt methods to fit those needs. That means building a plan together and adjusting techniques based on what helps in daily life.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to apply strategies directly to everyday routines.
