About Lucinda

Lucinda Rhoads is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationships, family issues, grief, parenting, career changes, and compassion fatigue. She draws on 29 years of experience to help people manage panic, post-traumatic stress, and life transitions.

The tone in sessions is calm and practical, aimed at easing daily struggles and improving coping skills. She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most difficult.

Background and approach

Sessions often include teaching simple tools for mood and stress management. Lucinda emphasizes clear communication and helps clients practice new ways of responding to hard situations. Her approach weaves together attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, and EMDR when trauma processing is needed.

Those methods are chosen to match a person’s needs rather than forcing a single model. People can expect a steady, empathic presence that focuses on concrete steps. Lucinda helps set small, achievable goals and tracks progress over time.

She also offers coaching-style guidance for career and life-purpose concerns. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Lucinda works in English and practices under the Ohio LPCC license OH LPCC E.0002842.

To begin, interested people follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Attachment-based therapy focuses on how past relationships shape present feelings and behavior. In online sessions this approach involves talking through connection patterns and practicing new ways to relate that reduce stress and improve communication.

Client-centered therapy centers on being listened to and accepted without judgment. That simple stance helps people feel understood and makes it easier to try small changes in thinking and behavior during remote sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and routines. It works well online by combining talk with concrete exercises people can try between sessions to lower anxiety and manage mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will learn about a person’s goals, preferences, and symptoms and then suggest methods that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove screen needs, and live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing coaching. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or other obligations.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
