Lara Waldenmaier

Lara Waldenmaier is an LPCC licensed in Ohio with 21 years of clinical practice. She aims to provide a listening space where people can bring difficult emotions and complex life questions. Her background includes work with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns as well as mental and physical illness, and she draws on that experience to support exploration and practical coping strategies.

Her training spans client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally focused therapy, the Gottman Method, mindfulness approaches, and psychodynamic work. Lara has worked with college students, couples, internationals, jobseekers, and adults of any age who are seeking emotional healing, support, and direction. Her practice also attends to issues such as caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and pain, career transitions, and identity-related topics including LGBT matters.

She combines structured tools with attentive listening to help people understand patterns, manage stress and anxiety, and address relationship and intimacy-related challenges. Prospective clients are invited to learn about her approaches and consider whether a collaborative, exploration-oriented process fits their needs.
