Laura Bianchini, LPCC

Laura Bianchini, LPCC, is an Ohio-based counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and changes that come with life transitions. She focuses on practical steps for depression, self-esteem, ADHD-related struggles, and caregiver or aging-related stress. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to work at each person’s pace. With 12 years of clinical experience and a master’s degree from John Carroll University, Laura draws on several evidence-informed methods to tailor care. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational techniques to help clients notice patterns and try new responses. Sessions emphasize problem solving, skill building, and clear goals. She often helps people develop coping tools for sleep, eating, anger, and impulsive behaviors tied to addiction or mood shifts. Discussions also address family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and communication problems as they arise. Laura describes her style as compassionate and collaborative. She invites clients to set the pace and focus of work, aiming to boost decision-making, coping, and confidence. She also supports parents and caregivers who are juggling responsibilities and stressors. Her background includes work across different cities and countries, which she says shaped a broad understanding of people’s experiences. She provides online support and asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when worry, avoidance, or life transitions stand in the way of what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behavior changes to shift mood and habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, respectful relationship where the person sets the pace and goals; this helps people feel heard while they make changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying an ACT exercise one week, practicing CBT techniques the next, and using mindfulness tools as needed. Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or caregiving windows. They can also make shorter check-ins or regular goal-focused sessions simpler to schedule, helping skills practice become part of everyday routines.
