Laura Wiedlebacher

Laura Wiedlebacher is an Ohio-licensed counselor with 26 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, and major life changes. Laura works from the belief that each person knows their story best and already carries strengths to draw on.

She centers sessions on practical steps and clear goals. Conversations look at current problems and what a person wants to change next. Laura encourages small, achievable moves that add up over time and help people regain a sense of direction.

Her approach mixes structured techniques with skills-building and mindful attention. Clients learn ways to notice upsetting thoughts, test unhelpful thinking, and try new responses when emotions feel intense. She also uses focused problem-solving to break big issues into manageable parts.

Laura supports people dealing with identity and connection concerns, such as loneliness, body image, communication struggles, and the fallout of separation and divorce. She helps with panic symptoms, trauma reactions, and patterns like impulsivity or feeling controlled by guilt and shame.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Laura aims to create a space where clients can practice new skills and reflect on what matters most. People leave with clearer next steps and tools they can use day to day.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Laura commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in straightforward, online conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness Therapy helps people pay attention to the present moment and build tolerance for hard feelings without reacting immediately.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes trying techniques and adjusting as progress is reviewed.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings during breaks or from a quieter spot. They also make it possible to practice skills in everyday settings and to check in more quickly when a short follow-up is helpful.
