About Lucinda
Lucinda Rhoads is an Ohio LPCC with 29 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strains, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also lists guilt and shame among her focuses.
She uses a straightforward, people-first style in sessions. Conversations are practical and listening-led. She helps people name what they are feeling, sort out how it affects daily life, and try small changes that can make a difference.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR where appropriate. That means she pays attention to relationship patterns, reactions in the body, and the thoughts that keep someone stuck. She brings tools for managing panic, cravings, or intense emotions alongside space to process painful events.
Lucinda often helps people who are dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, control concerns, or the fallout of divorce and separation. She also lists work with forgiveness, isolation, life purpose, veteran issues, and seasonal mood shifts.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early bonds to understand current reactions. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and try different responses in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions CBT can include practical worksheets, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step skills to reduce anxiety or shame. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge; when appropriate it can be adapted to remote work with guidance from the therapist.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. Decisions about which tools to use are collaborative and can change as progress is tracked.
The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel, and they can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits the person. Talk with the therapist about preferred timing, session length, and whether certain approaches might work better in a particular format.
