About Judi

Judi Fischer is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 23 years of clinical experience, she brings a practical, goal-oriented outlook that emphasizes listening first and tailoring guidance to each person's priorities. Judi combines cognitive and behavioral strategies with relational and acceptance-based ideas to support clearer thinking and more effective coping.

Her background includes work as a school teacher, a bereavement specialist, a business owner, and a ballroom dance instructor, experiences that inform a flexible, person-centered style. Judi has supported clients through career difficulties, blended family issues, compassion fatigue, parenting concerns, and caregiving stress, among other challenges.

She aims to help people clarify realistic goals and take steps toward greater balance, self-esteem, and emotional resilience. Judi frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering practical tools alongside empathetic hearing.

Her training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy principles, which she draws on as appropriate to each client's needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Judi frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a structured approach that helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another option she uses; it emphasizes clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility through mindful acceptance and committed action. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her relational work by exploring early patterns of connection and their influence on current relationship dynamics, helping clients improve communication and emotional bonds.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Judi works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques from different modalities to find the best fit rather than relying on a single method. This collaborative stance allows adjustments over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy with Judi is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from wherever the client is located in Ohio. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote formats while keeping sessions focused and practical.
