About Sarah
Sarah Rinaldo is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, and parenting challenges. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to offer steady support while people work through painful memories and current pressures.
Sarah uses techniques that address how past experiences shape present relationships and feelings.
Background and approach
She works with people on trauma-related concerns including post-traumatic stress and complex trauma, and she integrates approaches that target mood and panic symptoms. Sessions include practical tools for managing day-to-day stress and steps toward feeling more in control. Attachment-based methods are used to help clients notice patterns in relationships and repair difficult bonds with others.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood going. Sarah also blends narrative and emotionally-focused approaches to help clients make sense of their stories and build stronger emotional connections within relationships. With nine years of clinical work in Ohio, she supports people navigating grief, codependency, family-of-origin issues, and life transitions.
She also helps those dealing with intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, and feelings of isolation. Sarah offers a calm presence while helping people set realistic goals and try new ways of coping. Her practice is conversational and goal-oriented.
People can expect a mix of listening, gentle challenge, and concrete strategies. The focus is on what will improve daily life and parenting, one step at a time.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions today. Online sessions can help people identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating that reduce conflict and shame. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It translates well to video or phone work because sessions often include teaching skills, practicing exercises, and tracking progress between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean combining attachment ideas with CBT skills, or adding narrative or emotionally focused techniques when those fit better. Clients are involved in deciding what to try and how to measure progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper emotional work and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or areas with low bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are practical for quick check-ins, coping plans, or ongoing coaching-style support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into daily life.
