Unless someone here can give you specific details, you might find you need to do some work to see what buses and/or trains you could use. This Rome2Rio site may give some idea and this autobus site might be of help. I suspect via Pisa by train may also be an option.
Use Google Maps and then

Use Google Maps and then choose public transportation (the icon is a bus) then enter from/to (to Lerici, Italy). Options should come up showing trains from your location to Sarzana. From Sarzana you take the S bus to Lerici. A ferry in Lerici will take you to Cinque Terre. Lerici is a beautiful seaside village. Enjoy.

I've done this trip by train

I've done this trip by train -- except in two parts at different times!In Montecatini Terme, there are two rail stations on the same line, and I think all trains stop at both. Take a train to Viareggio, and then to either Vernazza or Monterosso al Mare (or both!). Some services are direct, but for some you have to change at Pisa Centrale or La Spezia.When I travelled from Pisa to the Cinque Terre, I bought a ticket to Monterosso, but got off and explored Vernazza before going on to Monterosso.I always plan my Italian train travel on the FS web site, but I've never tried buying my ticket on line.http://www.trenitalia.com/
