About Laura
Laura Wiedlebacher is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship difficulties, and cope with trauma, depression, and life transitions. Her approach emphasizes clients' strengths and practical steps forward.
She sees each person as the expert on their own story and partners with them to build on what already works. Sessions concentrate on clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
The tone is supportive and empowering rather than judgmental. Laura commonly uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address worry, panic, and unhelpful thinking. She also draws on mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies to help people find short-term relief and longer-term change.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help clarifying values and sustaining motivation. In a typical meeting she will listen, ask straightforward questions, and introduce exercises or homework that match a person's needs and pace. She helps people break big problems into small, manageable steps.
The work is practical and action oriented while remaining attentive to emotions that come up. Her background includes more than two decades working with adults on issues like abandonment, body image, communication problems, guilt, and midlife concerns. Laura aims to create a calm, steady space where people can take courageous steps toward feeling better and living in line with their goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Laura commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and swap them for more useful patterns. CBT often includes simple exercises and behavior changes that reduce anxiety and panic symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and skills for clearer communication. DBT skills can be especially helpful for managing strong emotions and impulsivity while improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face without travel, phone calls can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and text or chat can be used for shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on anxiety, stress, and life changes while keeping tools and exercises accessible.
