Lucinda Rhoads , LPCC

Lucinda Rhoads is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She supports those coping with ADHD, addictions, grief, career changes, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Her work also touches on relationship and communication problems and life transitions.

She brings 29 years of clinical experience to each session. Lucinda focuses on listening closely and helping people name what feels overwhelming. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with steps to manage panic, reduce anxiety, and handle impulsivity.

Her approach is collaborative. She encourages clients to notice patterns tied to attachment, control, or isolation and then try small changes. She uses methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to build coping tools.

When trauma is part of the story, Lucinda may integrate EMDR-informed strategies to process difficult memories. She also uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to strengthen self-understanding and improve relationships. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and more useful communication skills.

Sessions are offered in English and arranged from Ohio. Lucinda describes therapy as a step-by-step process that blends support with practical skills. People who want to address life purpose, forgiveness, or veteran-related concerns will find a steady, experienced clinician who listens and helps plan the next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice connection styles, repair communication habits, and practice new ways of relating to others in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions this looks like identifying thinking patterns, trying short experiments between meetings, and reviewing results together to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting the plan over time based on how things are going.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face for exercises and EMDR-informed processing, phone can fit shorter check-ins or low-bandwidth needs, and messaging supports quick questions or daily coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while continuing steady therapeutic progress.
