About Sarah

Sarah Rinaldo is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who offers steady, nonjudgmental support to people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. She presents herself as a compassionate guide who listens and validates difficult feelings. Her style aims to help people feel understood while they work toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

She focuses on trauma-related concerns, including post-traumatic stress and complex trauma, and uses EMDR as one tool alongside therapy. Sarah also helps with mood disorders, panic attacks, grief, and issues that arise from family history or attachment patterns. She names relationship strain, intimacy concerns, and parenting stress among common topics addressed in sessions.

Her approach blends several methods to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-based and emotionally focused techniques look at how past connections shape present reactions. Narrative and trauma-focused work help people make sense of painful experiences.

Sarah brings nine years of clinical experience in Ohio to her practice and holds the LPCC credential. She speaks English. International clients are not accepted. Session formats are not listed here, so readers should confirm current options before booking.

To begin, people follow the platform’s Start Therapy flow, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Sarah frames therapy as a collaborative process and offers coaching-style support when relevant.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present reactions and helps people notice and shift repeating patterns in close relationships. It can be useful for intimacy concerns, codependency, and family of origin issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. EMDR, when used, supports processing traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing to reduce the emotional charge of those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice may change over time as progress is made and new issues come up.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions around work or family schedules. Remote sessions also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or options that do not require a camera, depending on what the therapist offers. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, cognitive tools, and trauma processing to remote sessions so therapy can be practical and goal-focused even when not in person.
