About Laura
Laura Wiedlebacher is an LPCC licensed in Ohio with 26 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, and other life changes. Laura identifies guilt and shame among the issues she focuses on and approaches concerns with practical skills and steady support.
Clients can expect conversations that honor their story and strengths. She emphasizes collaborative work, helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try different ways of responding. Sessions often include clear strategies drawn from evidence-based approaches to manage distress in day-to-day life.
Laura uses tools that help people handle strong emotions and reduce overwhelming reactions. She draws on techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts, building emotional regulation skills, and setting small, achievable goals. The emphasis is on straightforward steps that can be used between sessions.
Her approach also includes mindfulness practices to help with present-moment focus and Motivational Interviewing techniques to explore readiness for change. Meetings typically involve checking progress, trying an experiment or skill, and planning next steps. This keeps work focused and practical while still addressing deeper concerns.
For someone carrying guilt or shame, she aims to create a pace that feels doable. Conversations can include looking at where these feelings come from, how they affect choices, and what actions might reduce their hold. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Laura commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques in her sessions. CBT focuses on noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to see what helps. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can be useful for panic, overwhelm, and relationship strain.She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to support present-moment awareness and reduce rumination. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust methods as progress or challenges appear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, fewer travel interruptions, or avoiding camera use when that helps someone focus. These practical benefits aim to make regular work on guilt, shame, and related issues more manageable within everyday routines.
