About Sarah
Sarah Rinaldo is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Ohio with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and life changes. She also lists coaching as part of her work.
Rinaldo uses several approaches in her work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and Narrative Therapy. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, processing painful memories, and trying new ways of handling difficult situations. She offers EMDR as a supplement to her regular counseling services when appropriate.
In sessions she helps people notice what keeps problems going and then shifts toward practical steps. That can mean testing a different response to anxiety, practicing small behavior changes, or working through traumatic memories with methods designed for trauma. She also addresses issues like shame, codependency, family of origin concerns, and isolation.
Rinaldo has experience supporting people with mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-harm concerns, and veterans and armed forces issues. Her background includes nearly a decade of clinical practice in Ohio and work with clients facing both past wounds and current stressors.
To start, prospective clients follow the directory process to match and schedule an initial session. Sessions are conducted in English and Rinaldo does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Sarah uses structured therapy approaches online
Sarah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map the thoughts, feelings, and actions that keep problems in place. CBT sessions focus on noticing specific thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or handle panic symptoms.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work helps people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships and practice different ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to identify and work with core emotions in relationship and intimacy concerns, helping clarify emotional responses and improve connection in interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sarah works collaboratively to decide which method or combination fits a person's goals and preferences. She adapts sessions based on what a client wants to focus on and what helps most in early visits.
The directory process guides clients to schedule a first session after a short matching questionnaire. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can work on coping skills between day-to-day responsibilities.
