Sarah Rinaldo, LPCC

Sarah Rinaldo is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with nine years of experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, and parenting. She also helps with attachment-related difficulties, codependency, family of origin problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.

Sarah’s work centers on practical ways to manage upsetting memories and strong emotions. She uses techniques drawn from attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused work, EMDR, and narrative methods. Sessions include talking through current struggles and learning skills to reduce symptoms day to day.

Clients who bring trauma or post-traumatic stress concerns can expect trauma-focused interventions discussed as part of care. EMDR is offered as a supplement to regular counseling when it seems appropriate. She also addresses panic attacks, mood concerns, and self-harm risk with concrete strategies and safety planning when needed.

Sarah frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens to each person’s history and current life, then tries different approaches until something helps. Practical tools and short-term skill building are combined with deeper work on family patterns and attachment issues.

People often come for help with parenting strain, hard conversations with relatives, or lingering wounds from earlier relationships. Sarah works with English-speaking adults in Ohio and builds a plan around each person’s goals and daily life.
