Judi Fischer

Judi Fischer is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 23 years of experience. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, loss, relationship strain, or major life changes. Her style is warm and practical, focused on listening and helping each person set clear, achievable goals.

Judi uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based approaches to help people manage anxiety, depression, and grief. She also brings relational methods to conversations about intimacy, communication problems, and blended family dynamics. Sessions tend to focus on what is causing distress now and what small steps can ease that burden.

Her background includes work as a bereavement specialist, school teacher, business owner, and ballroom dance instructor, as well as many years as a mental health therapist. Those varied roles show in her flexible, life-oriented approach to counseling. She often combines practical problem-solving with attention to feelings and relationships.

People who come for support around caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, or compassion fatigue can expect help with coping strategies and clearer boundaries. Judi also addresses addiction-related concerns, family of origin issues, and struggles with guilt or shame in a calm, nonjudgmental way.

To begin, she helps clients identify a few realistic goals and then works alongside them to reach those aims. The focus is on usable skills, clearer communication, and rebuilding a sense of balance during difficult times.

How Judi’s approaches translate to online work

Judi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that are easy to use in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that matter, which helps with grief, life changes, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying an idea, checking how it feels, and adjusting as you go so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter follow-ups when helpful. It can also let people meet from different locations in Ohio without commuting, and supports routine check-ins that keep progress moving forward.
