About Sarah
Sarah Rinaldo is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who focuses on trauma-informed psychotherapy and practical coping skills. She offers calm, nonjudgmental support and guides people through painful memories, current stress, and worries about the future. Her approach emphasizes safety and steady pacing so people feel able to move forward at their own rhythm.
She commonly uses EMDR as one part of therapy to address traumatic memories and post-traumatic stress reactions.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape present patterns, and on cognitive behavioral techniques to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room for emotion and meaning-making. Sarah has nine years of clinical experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles.
She also supports clients facing parenting stress, life transitions, questions about purpose, and issues like codependency or family of origin wounds. Her background includes focused work with people who have experienced trauma and ongoing mood or panic-related symptoms. In a session she listens first, then offers clear options for coping skills, processing, and behavioral change.
People can expect practical tools alongside deeper emotional work. The pace is collaborative and guided by each person’s needs and comfort. Therapy with Sarah is offered in English and provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She practices as an Ohio LPCC and brings steady, empathic care to the work of recovery and growth.

Online support
How EMDR, attachment work, and online sessions fit together
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people reprocess distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. It is often used when past events continue to cause strong emotional reactions or symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current trust, closeness, and coping. It can be useful when relationship patterns, codependency, or family of origin issues make it hard to feel supported or connected.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, and clients are invited to give feedback about pacing and technique.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet that fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper processing, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick coping skills, brief check-ins, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during life transitions and day-to-day demands.
