About Sarah

Ohio LPCC Sarah Rinaldo has nine years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns. She works with individuals facing depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and questions about life purpose. Her stated methods include Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Narrative Therapy.

Rinaldo emphasizes practical, straightforward counseling. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. She uses EMDR as one tool alongside talk-based approaches when trauma is part of the problem. Her work often centers on how attachment patterns and life stories shape current reactions.

In sessions she helps people process past wounds and current stressors. She addresses symptoms of post-traumatic stress, panic, mood disorders, and self-harm risk with techniques drawn from CBT and trauma-focused methods. She also supports people dealing with codependency, family of origin issues, and isolation.

For relationship and intimacy concerns she uses EFT and attachment work to look at emotional patterns and repair interactions. Narrative Therapy is used to reframe painful memories and build a more coherent sense of self. Practical coping skills and behavioral experiments are part of the plan when anxiety or panic are present.

Rinaldo provides clear guidance about next steps and collaborates on treatment goals. She works in English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC. Clients who want to begin complete a matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.

How attachment, CBT, and EMDR translate to remote work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and emotional responses between people. Online sessions can use conversation and exercises to notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. In a remote session a therapist guides behavioral experiments, thought records, and breathing or grounding exercises that can be done between meetings. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that combines memory processing with bilateral stimulation; when used remotely it is applied as part of a broader trauma plan and supports processing of distressing memories.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan over time based on how well techniques are helping and what fits into daily life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people choose remote work because it can fit into a workday, avoid travel, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. Remote sessions also let the therapist assign in-the-moment exercises and follow up on real-life practice between meetings without requiring an office visit.
