Laura Wiedlebacher

Laura Wiedlebacher is an Ohio LPCC with 26 years of professional experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She presents herself as a collaborator who treats clients as the experts on their own stories. She encourages people to take practical steps when they want to change how they feel or respond to life events.

In sessions she focuses on clear, action-oriented work. She uses methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to identify unhelpful thoughts and interrupt difficult patterns. She also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused approaches to build coping skills and set manageable goals.

Her practice pays attention to common life turning points. People bring worries about abandonment, body image, control struggles, divorce and separation, and midlife questions. Laura also addresses panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, and issues that commonly affect women. Life purpose and feelings of isolation or loneliness are part of the work she can help with.

Sessions tend to emphasize practical tools that can be used between meetings. Clients practice skills, review what worked, and try small experiments to see real differences. She uses motivational interviewing ideas when people feel stuck about making changes.

Laura conducts her work in English and is based in Ohio. If you are unsure about next steps, she asks simple questions up front to clarify what you want to try and what would help most.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Laura commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT breaks concerns into manageable parts and offers exercises to try between sessions, which can make online meetings feel structured and goal-focused.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills are practical tools that clients can practice in daily life and review during sessions. Mindfulness therapy appears in her work as short attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase present-moment noticing.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session focus and the types of skills practiced between meetings.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people try brief skill practices during a break or review exercises together in real time.
