About Sarah

Sarah Rinaldo is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who offers calm, nonjudgmental support for people feeling overwhelmed. She opens sessions with empathy and practical guidance to help clients manage daily stress and emotional pain.

Sarah focuses on trauma, stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. She helps people who struggle with panic, post-traumatic stress, low self-esteem, and relationship or family-related difficulties. Her approach is grounded in steady listening and step-by-step planning rather than jargon or quick fixes.

In sessions she blends methods to fit each person. That might mean addressing old attachment wounds, working on unhelpful thinking patterns, or using trauma-focused techniques when appropriate. EMDR is offered as a supplement alongside talk-based work when it matches a client’s goals.

Sarah draws on nine years of clinical experience. She uses that background to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and build better coping skills. Conversations are practical and paced to what each person can handle.

People who reach out can expect straightforward feedback and tools to use between sessions. Sarah aims to help clients regain steadiness, reduce panic and anxiety, and move toward clearer priorities and healthier relationships.

How approaches like attachment work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current reactions. Online sessions can use conversation and guided exercises to notice those patterns and practice different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In an online format this often means setting small, doable tasks between sessions and reviewing results together.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together choose what seems most useful based on your needs, goals, and comfort level. That conversation is collaborative and can shift over time as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let them complete homework or breathing exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and techniques to online conversation so clients can work on panic, anxiety, trauma, and relationship patterns without major scheduling changes.
