Laura BianchiniLPCC

Laura Bianchini is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She provides calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. She emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental approach so clients can move at their own pace.

She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven into sessions to focus on values and small steps toward what matters. Motivational Interviewing techniques help when change feels hard or you are unsure where to start.

Laura trained at John Carroll University where she focused on depression, anxiety, ADHD, parenting, divorce, adjustment, stress management, self-esteem, and body image. Her background includes work with individuals, couples, and families, and a personal interest in yoga, meditation, and fitness as supportive practices.

Sessions aim to build problem-solving skills, decision-making strategies, and coping tools that fit everyday life. She describes herself as compassionate and open-hearted, working collaboratively to identify goals and steady support. People looking for help with pregnancy and childbirth related stress should mention those concerns when they begin so goals can be tailored.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Laura will work together with each person to create a plan that matches their needs and daily routine.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts and feelings show up. It can help with stress, anxiety, and life changes by shifting attention toward meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that get in the way of daily life. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep, and many everyday problems. Mindfulness-based work helps people develop present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and build steady coping over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to figure out what fits best based on goals, preferences, and how change is progressing. That might mean using a mix of ACT, CBT, and mindfulness tools rather than one single method.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep momentum between appointments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and lets people use mindfulness or breathing practices during a session in the context of their own daily routine.
