About Lucinda

Lucinda Rhoads is an Ohio-based LPCC with 29 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, addictions, relationships, family challenges, grief, parenting issues, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also works with a range of related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, communication struggles, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose questions, panic and post-traumatic stress, and seasonal mood changes. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused perspectives, client-centered principles, dialectical skills, and EMDR-informed strategies.

Sessions emphasize understanding and validation while offering practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen interpersonal connection. Lucinda frames therapy as a collaborative process and tailors interventions to each person’s needs and goals.

Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and a focus on building skills that support daily functioning and long-term growth. She draws on decades of clinical practice to offer structured yet compassionate care that helps people make meaningful changes in how they cope, relate, and move forward.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Lucinda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors related to anxiety, panic, mood changes, ADHD challenges, and stress. CBT focuses on practical skills and short-term strategies to improve daily functioning and coping.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns that influence how clients connect, trust, and regulate emotions. This approach can be helpful for concerns like abandonment, communication problems, and strengthening interpersonal relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together; the therapist collaborates with each person to select or combine methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single technique from the start.

Online therapy with Lucinda is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting sessions into busy lives and allow clients to access evidence-informed approaches from their own location.
