About Sarah
Sarah Rinaldo is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who offers steady, nonjudgmental support to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She communicates with warmth and clear guidance. Her focus includes relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, and codependency as well as broader life transitions.
She uses approaches that center how relationships shape feelings and behavior. That includes attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-focused methods. EMDR is offered as a supplement alongside other counseling tools to address traumatic memories when appropriate.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Sarah helps people identify patterns, practice new ways of coping, and make small changes that add up over time. She also addresses shame, isolation, and family-of-origin themes that often underlie current struggles.
With nine years of experience, she brings steady clinical judgment and compassion to the work. Her practice supports people dealing with panic, mood concerns, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm thoughts within the therapeutic setting. She will listen and help build a plan that fits each person’s needs.
Sarah asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on her availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and she works with clients in English in Ohio.
How attachment and trauma work translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online work can help people notice connection patterns, practice new ways of relating, and reduce shame around intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In remote sessions CBT techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try concrete experiments between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that targets distressing memories; when used as a supplement it can help lessen the intensity of traumatic images and reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort. That collaboration includes checking in about what helps, adjusting pacing, and combining techniques when useful.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work also lets people move between in-person and remote care if that becomes helpful, and therapists adapt exercises and homework to the online setting to support progress.
