About Sarah
Sarah Rinaldo is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes.
Sarah draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
She also works with attachment-based and emotion-focused methods to look at how relationships shape feelings and patterns. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and narrative therapy are available when needed to address traumatic memories and life stories. Her practice centers on steady, compassionate care.
Sessions move at a person’s pace and focus on concrete tools for coping, managing panic, and reducing daily anxiety. Sarah also helps people handle grief, relationship struggles, and questions about life purpose. With nine years of experience, she has worked with people dealing with post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, codependency, and family of origin issues.
She combines listening with clear steps people can try between sessions. The overall goal is to help people feel more able to handle stress and build healthier patterns. Sarah offers services to English-speaking clients in Ohio through online formats.
She supports people who want coaching-style help as well as those seeking therapy for deeper trauma and lasting emotional change.
How relational and trauma approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and trust. Online sessions use talk and guided exercises to notice patterns and try new ways of relating to others and to oneself. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small, concrete behavior changes. In teletherapy these steps translate into short between-session assignments and in-session practice for anxiety and panic symptoms. EMDR helps reduce the intensity of traumatic memories using a structured process that can be adapted for video sessions when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT tools, attachment work, EMDR, or a combination that fits the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice emotion-focused exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while working toward steady progress.
