About Judi

Judi Fischer is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship friction, and parenting concerns. Her style is practical and down-to-earth - she listens first, then helps clients set clear goals and steps to reach them.

Judi has worked in mental health for many years and brings a variety of life and work experiences to therapy. She has been a school teacher, a bereavement specialist, a business owner, and a ballroom dance instructor, and she uses those perspectives to connect with people.

Background and approach

This background helps her understand everyday pressures like work-life balance and caregiver stress. Her approach blends evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral therapy with acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-focused strategies. Sessions often include talking through patterns, practicing new ways to respond, and setting small, manageable goals.

She also draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person’s values and priorities. Over more than two decades in the field, Judi has worked with a wide range of concerns including addictions, compassion fatigue, family problems, blended family issues, and caregiver burnout. She pays attention to how attachment, communication, and past family dynamics shape current struggles.

Many people find her practical guidance helpful for making steady changes. Judi aims to help people move toward more satisfying, manageable lives. She meets clients where they are and supports them in finding realistic ways to cope and grow.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take action toward what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where values and meaningful action help guide choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more helpful ones. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping skills that people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what works for the person. Clients and the therapist work together to pick methods that match goals, values, and preferred pace.

Online therapy with Judi can be done by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited travel. Many people find the variety of formats makes it easier to keep therapy consistent and to apply skills in daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
