About Sarah
Sarah Rinaldo takes a practical, trauma-informed approach to therapy. She uses methods that focus on how past relationships shape current feelings and behavior. Sarah provides calm support and clear steps to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and other challenges.
She has nine years of clinical experience and holds an LPCC, which is the Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor credential. Sarah combines approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused techniques, EMDR, and narrative therapy to match what a person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Sarah helps people name what is hardest, learn new ways to respond, and practice small changes between sessions. She offers guidance without judgment and helps clients track progress over time.
Her focus includes stress, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and life transitions. Additional areas of attention include attachment and family of origin issues, codependency, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. People who want options for how they meet with a therapist can connect with Sarah by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The intake process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client's needs.
Online approaches that address trauma and relationships
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand where intense reactions come from and build more supported ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It teaches clear skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people work through trauma memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing to reduce distress and strong reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. That decision is collaborative, and adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the plan.
Online therapy with Sarah is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face connection and richer emotional work. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging fit brief check-ins, short coaching moments, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
