About Lara
Lara Waldenmaier is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and the strain of life changes. She writes and listens with calm attention and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and focused on what matters now. She draws on several therapy styles to match each person’s needs.
Sessions often center on listening first, then using practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
She also uses emotion-focused ideas to clarify feelings and the Gottman Method to guide conversations about relationship patterns. Lara emphasizes a down-to-earth approach. Conversations are kept simple and direct.
Clients work on clear goals such as reducing panic, improving communication, managing caregiving stress, or coping with illness and loss. She brings 21 years of clinical experience as an LPCC, licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio. That background includes work with people dealing with chronic health problems, caregiving demands, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and issues tied to aging.
Therapy topics she often addresses include attachment and family of origin issues, career and life purpose concerns, intimacy and self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating LGBT-related questions and the emotional effects of cancer or chronic pain. Sessions are offered in English through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Online support
How Lara’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead and reflects understanding so clients can clarify their feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers concrete skills to change unhelpful thought patterns and reduce anxiety or depression symptoms. The Gottman Method provides practical ways to spot and change repeating interaction patterns in relationships and improve communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lara will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Treatment can shift over time as needs change, testing what helps most for mood, grief, or relationship concerns.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let therapists and clients see nonverbal cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, coping tools between sessions, and people who prefer written communication. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while using the approaches above to address stress, relationship patterns, grief, and chronic illness challenges.
