About Judi
Judi Fischer greets people with a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) based in Ohio with more than two decades of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Judi listens first and then helps clients set clear, reachable goals.
Her sessions focus on real problems and realistic steps. She mixes cognitive-behavioral ideas with acceptance-based strategies and relationship-focused work so people can learn new skills and make different choices.
Background and approach
Conversations often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing emotion regulation, and strengthening important connections. Judi has a varied background outside of therapy that shapes how she works. Past roles include school teacher, bereavement specialist, small business owner, and ballroom dance instructor.
Those experiences inform a warm, grounded style that values practical tools and everyday life skills. She often helps people navigate caregiving strain, blended family issues, career stress, compassion fatigue, and the ripple effects of trauma and loss. Parenting concerns, intimacy-related struggles, and questions about commitment and communication are also common topics she addresses.
In sessions clients can expect a collaborative tone where the counselor and client decide on priorities together. Judi aims to make changes feel manageable, one step at a time, so people can move toward greater balance and meaning in their daily lives.
Approaches that fit online care
Judi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Judi works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as needed. That shared decision making helps keep work focused and relevant to the clients life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support quick check-ins, and text-based messaging can be helpful for brief updates or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity between sessions.
