About Judi
Judi Fischer is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and life transitions. Judi aims to listen first and help clients set clear, realistic goals they can work toward.
She uses straightforward, practical methods that match each person’s needs. Her approach includes Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, client-centered techniques, and cognitive behavioral tools. Sessions often focus on skills for coping, clearer communication, and rebuilding routines after loss or change.
Before counseling she worked as a school teacher, a bereavement specialist, a business owner, and a ballroom dance instructor. Those roles shaped her practical style and respect for each person’s life story. Judi draws on this background to make therapy feel relatable and applicable to daily life.
Judi has worked extensively with issues such as compassion fatigue, parenting stress, blended family challenges, caregiver strain, codependency, commitment and intimacy concerns, and career or time-management difficulties. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric questions, family of origin wounds, and forgiveness or guilt struggles.
Her aim is to help people make changes they choose, so life becomes more manageable and more meaningful. Judi describes therapy as a collaborative journey and says she looks forward to walking that path with clients.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Judi often draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters most to them and find motivation for change; this approach focuses on listening, asking open questions, and building each person’s own reasons for moving forward. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judi treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help clients decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Over early sessions she will check in and adapt the plan so the approach stays useful and practical.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fewer travel needs and easier fits around work or caregiving routines, which can make regular sessions more manageable. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what will be offered. Many people find that online sessions let them keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday demands. -
