About Sarah
Sarah Rinaldo is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with nine years of experience. She offers calm, nonjudgmental support and listens for what matters most to each person. Her goal is to help people find clearer thinking and kinder ways to cope with hard feelings.
She uses approaches that focus on relationships and on how thoughts shape feelings. That includes attachment-based work to look at how early bonds affect current relationships.
How Sarah works
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking patterns. Sarah has extensive experience working with trauma and stress. She integrates trauma-focused methods and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate to address post-traumatic stress and related symptoms.
Narrative therapy is another tool she uses to help people reframe their stories and regain a sense of agency. People come to her for depression, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, intimacy concerns, and life transitions. She also helps with attachment issues, codependency, family of origin matters, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
Her approach combines practical strategies with time to process painful memories. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online to fit different schedules. Sarah practices in Ohio as an LPCC and has focused experience with veterans and armed forces issues among other mood and trauma-related concerns.
If someone is unsure where to start, she helps them map goals and small steps forward.

Online support options
How attachment and trauma work translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work can help identify those patterns and try new ways of connecting and relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In an online session CBT often uses short exercises and real-life homework to build new habits between meetings. EMDR targets distressing memories and associated feelings; it can be used alongside other therapy methods to reduce the hold traumatic memories have on daily life.Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and suggest a plan that mixes approaches when needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions can be adjusted as work progresses and new goals emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, journaling-style updates, or when typing is easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit sessions into busy lives.
