Laura Wiedlebacher, LPCC

Laura Wiedlebacher is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and depression. She frames clients as the experts in their own lives and offers steady support as they consider change.

She listens for strengths and practical solutions people can use between sessions. Conversations tend to be direct and grounded, aimed at what feels manageable right now. The work often includes learning new ways to respond to hard thoughts, strong emotions, and difficult memories.

Laura uses a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs. Together clients and Laura set clear goals and try small, realistic steps toward them. Sessions cover skills for handling panic, reducing avoidance, and improving communication.

Many people seek her help during major life shifts, including midlife transitions and relationship endings. She also supports people dealing with shame, impulsive behavior, problems with control, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Her style is practical and collaborative. She encourages people to notice what helps and to build on those practices. If you want straightforward conversation and tools you can use between meetings, she can work with you to map the next steps.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Laura commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention to the present moment and simple practices to lower reactivity and increase calm.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She plans sessions together with each person, using goals and preferences to decide which methods to try. This collaborative testing helps determine whether CBT techniques, mindfulness practices, or a blend fits best for the person's current needs.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are set by the practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing workday check-ins or evening appointments. They also support a gradual pace for skills practice, letting people try short exercises between meetings and report back on what worked.
