About Lucinda

Lucinda Rhoads is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 29 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, career changes, and compassion fatigue.

She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that keep problems going. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, try new coping skills, and build stronger communication habits.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-focused ideas and client-centered listening. She also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when they fit a person's needs. The work tends to be structured and goal-oriented, with space for addressing trauma and impulsivity.

Lucinda has extensive experience helping people manage panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Clients can expect a clear plan for sessions and practical tools to practice between meetings. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, readers should use the site's online matching tools and schedule an initial session.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Lucinda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot automatic thoughts and test different responses. CBT focuses on practical exercises and behavioral experiments that translate well to remote sessions and homework between meetings.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions. This approach helps when difficulties involve trust, communication problems, or fear of abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy is used alongside these methods to keep the conversation focused on the client's goals and perspectives rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That conversation can happen during the initial meeting and be adjusted over time.

The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. If you want to begin, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to check in without a long commute.
