Lucinda Rhoads

Lucinda Rhoads is an Ohio LPCC with 29 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, ADHD, panic, grief, relationship and career concerns, and questions about life purpose. She works with individuals who feel stuck after a change or who are trying to find a clearer direction in daily life.

She favors an approachable, person-centered style. Sessions often begin with practical talk about what is causing the most strain right now. She helps people name what they want to change and choose small, manageable steps to test new ways of coping. Conversations include skill practice, reflective questions, and concrete strategies for everyday life.

Her background includes long experience with attachment-related issues and trauma. She uses evidence-informed methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. She also brings client-centered and attachment-based techniques into helping people understand patterns in their relationships.

People who come for help with ADHD, compulsive behaviors, or addictions are offered symptom-focused work alongside broader goals like improving communication or rebuilding trust. For those facing major life transitions she combines short-term coaching-style planning with deeper therapy work when needed.

Sessions are conversational and direct. The focus is on practical change you can notice week to week. Lucinda aims to help clients discover clearer priorities and more workable habits for moving forward.

How her approaches guide online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses. It helps when trust, closeness, or separation issues make decisions or daily life harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems in place and gives clear tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood shifts. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses structured processing to reduce distress tied to specific memories and can help when past events continue to cause strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust as progress is made, so the plan can change over time.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins by phone when a full session isn’t needed, or video sessions when visual cues are useful. Ask about the available formats to pick what best suits your daily routine and technical setup.
