About Laura

Laura Bianchini is a licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and coping with life changes. She takes an open-hearted, nonjudgmental approach and aims to meet people where they are.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s capacity. She uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to address everyday problems.

Background and approach

That can include working on sleep and eating habits, managing mood swings, rebuilding self-esteem, or handling separation and blended family challenges. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational techniques when helpful. Her training includes a master’s degree from John Carroll University with a focus on depression, anxiety, ADHD, parenting, divorce, and stress management.

Laura combines clinical methods with an emphasis on movement and relaxation practices when appropriate, such as yoga and meditation ideas to reduce tension and increase awareness. Therapy with her centers on clear goals and practical skills. She helps people practice new ways to solve problems, manage emotions, and make decisions that support family life.

Her style is warm and compassionate, and she aims to build confidence so clients can face current challenges more effectively. Online sessions are available in multiple formats so families can fit counseling into busy schedules. The work is collaborative: she partners with each person to set priorities and try approaches that match their needs and values.

Approaches that translate well to online family support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, life changes, and improving parenting choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with mood, sleep, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, empathetic relationship where the therapist mirrors and reflects so clients feel heard and can find their own solutions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt worked in the past. Together they try methods that fit the familys needs and adjust over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face connection from home, phone sessions can be used on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging provide short-form options between sessions. These formats make it easier to practice skills in real time and to fit counseling into everyday 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.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
