Laura Wiedlebacher, LPCC

Laura Wiedlebacher is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with 26 years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She approaches each person as the expert of their own story, building on existing strengths to address challenges and foster meaningful change.

Her work emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, supporting clients through transitions such as divorce or separation, midlife concerns, and struggles with guilt, shame, or isolation. Laura draws on a range of clinical tools to help with symptoms like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and difficulties related to body image, control, or intimacy. She also provides focused support for issues including abandonment, communication problems, narcissism, and questions of life purpose.

Seeking therapy is framed as an act of courage, and Laura offers steady guidance as clients take initial steps toward a more fulfilling life. She aims to create a practical, strengths-based path forward, helping people develop coping skills and clearer communication to meet their personal goals.

Clinical approaches and how online therapy supports them

Laura commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) along with Mindfulness Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress. DBT blends skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques to reduce rumination and increase emotional balance, supporting recovery from trauma and chronic worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and Laura collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, making adjustments based on progress and client feedback so the plan stays practical and client-centered.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or mobility limitations. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support and real-time skills coaching, making it easier to practice new strategies between sessions and maintain progress from wherever the client is located.
