Lucinda Rhoads, LPCC

Lucinda Rhoads is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 29 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, stress, trauma, ADHD, low self-esteem, grief, and struggles with relationships and life changes. She aims to make talk therapy feel practical and down to earth for worried parents and busy adults.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and building skills that can be used between appointments. She listens for patterns in relationships and reactions, and then helps clients try different ways of coping and communicating.

Lucinda draws from several well-known methods to shape sessions, including cognitive behavioral ideas, attachment-focused work, and client-centered listening. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR when these fit a person's situation. Her style centers on respectful listening and helping people set small, manageable goals.

She has particular experience with impulse control, isolation, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and problems that follow separation or loss. She also supports people dealing with career decisions, forgiveness, and finding purpose after major transitions. Lucinda works to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Practical matters such as how sessions are held and scheduling are handled directly through the platform. Sessions can be adapted to short check-ins, longer problem-focused work, or a mix depending on what a person needs.

How Lucinda’s approaches translate to online care

Lucinda uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, then practices new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and manage ADHD symptoms. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change old reactions that get in the way of feeling safe and connected.

She also uses a client-centered stance that focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard while they test new skills. Choosing an approach is a team effort - the therapist and client talk through goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins and when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat let people check in between appointments or take smaller steps toward change while keeping therapy flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
