About Laura
Laura Wiedlebacher brings 26 years of clinical experience to her Ohio practice. She is licensed as an LPCC, and she focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. She begins by listening closely so clients can tell their story in their own words.
Her work centers on practical steps people can use between sessions. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, try small behavior changes, and build skills for coping with hard feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a steady, straightforward pace and focus on what the client wants to change. Laura believes people carry strengths that can be put to use. She supports clients in identifying those strengths and using them to reach clearer goals.
She also helps people sort through strong emotions like shame, guilt, panic, or anger so they can make different choices. Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. Those tools are adapted to each person’s needs rather than used by rigid rule.
People who find her helpful are looking for steady support and practical tools. She works with clients who want to reduce symptoms, manage life transitions, repair relationship patterns, or recover from past wounds. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at usable change.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Laura commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness practices in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better communication. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice their thoughts and body sensations to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she adapts techniques so they fit a client's situation and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets people use visual cues for skill demonstrations and emotional connection. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to be shorter. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick check-ins, written reminders of skills, and ongoing support between longer appointments. These options increase flexibility and help people sustain momentum toward their goals.
