About Lucinda
Lucinda Rhoads is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 29 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress and trauma. She works with clients who face panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, ADHD symptoms, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Her approach is steady and practical for people looking for clear steps forward.
She aims to make sessions understandable and down-to-earth. Lucinda listens, asks straightforward questions, and helps people name what feels most urgent.
Background and approach
Then she and the client pick small, manageable goals to try between sessions. Her work draws on several therapeutic methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and abandonment worries cause pain. She also uses EMDR for adapting to past traumatic memories when that is appropriate. Lucinda builds on what each person already knows about themselves.
She helps clients learn coping skills for panic, reduce avoidance, and practice communication in real situations. Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and thinking work tailored to each concern. Over nearly three decades she has supported people through grief, career change, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and the slow work of rebuilding after loss or separation.
She offers phone, video, chat, and text-based options so people can work in a way that fits their schedule and daily life.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy helps look at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions can include conversations about patterns, role-played interactions, and homework to practice new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It works well in teletherapy because homework, thought records, and skill practice can be shared and reviewed between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then suggest one or a mix of approaches. Decisions are collaborative so the plan matches what the person wants to focus on and what feels manageable.
Online therapy with Lucinda is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and practicing skills with visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, ask questions between sessions, or have a more flexible way to check in during busy weeks. These options aim to make consistent care easier to fit into daily life.
