About Sarah
Sarah Rinaldo is an Ohio LPCC with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and issues connected to trauma and abuse. She lists guilt and shame among her focus areas and helps people who feel stuck by past events or current pressures.
Her approach blends several methods. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also brings in trauma-focused tools and EMDR when trauma memories are part of the problem.
In session she aims to provide straightforward support and practical steps. Conversations often include identifying patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and building coping skills for day-to-day life. Sessions may also involve processing painful memories when that is useful for reducing their grip.
Sarah describes her work as supportive and nonjudgmental. She helps people name what they feel and choose actions that fit their goals. For people carrying guilt or shame, she offers ways to understand those feelings and to test whether self-judgments still make sense.
Her background includes nine years of work with mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and relationship strain. Sarah offers counseling in English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings. Online sessions can be used to map those patterns, practice new responses, and try different ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; that translates well to remote sessions through thought records, homework, and brief skills practice.EMDR is a trauma-focused method that some therapists use to process distressing memories. When trauma memories are central, Sarah may incorporate trauma-focused techniques and EMDR as part of treatment planning, adapting the work to the online setting when appropriate. Choosing which method to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, what feels manageable, and which approach fits best for the problem at hand.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about the session types currently offered and how they fit your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are more practical during work or family commitments.
