    About Laura

    Laura Wiedlebacher is an Ohio-licensed counselor with 26 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions. She approaches sessions with respect for each person's experience and strengths. She aims to support people taking their first steps toward change.

    Her work centers on helping people identify practical steps that fit their life. She often uses elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thought and behavior. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want and build motivation for change. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused ideas appear when grounding and short-term goal work are useful.

    Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. The therapist invites people to set the pace and to focus on goals that matter to them. Sessions typically involve talking through problems, practicing small skills, and tracking progress between meetings.

    Laura emphasizes strengths and real-world skills over jargon. She helps people name unhelpful habits, try alternatives, and reflect on what works. This practical focus is aimed at easing daily stress and building better coping over time.

    Her background spans many settings over more than two decades. With that experience she brings calm, steady support while helping people take concrete steps toward more satisfying days.

  2. How these approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons for change. It uses open questions, reflections, and gentle prompts to build motivation and clarify goals, which can help with things like moving through life transitions or shifting coping habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It introduces concrete tools for changing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, useful for anxiety, panic, and depression.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix styles so the plan adapts over time based on what is helpful.

    The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simple to practice skills in everyday settings and to move at a pace that matches work and family schedules.
