About Lucinda
Lucinda Rhoads is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 29 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, ADHD, addiction concerns, grief, and career or parenting strain. Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at helping people regain steadiness and move forward.
She focuses on building trust and understanding in the therapy room. Sessions are collaborative and centered on the person's goals. Lucinda listens, asks straightforward questions, and offers tools the client can use day to day.
Her work draws on approaches that include Motivational Interviewing, attachment-based ideas, client-centered ways of relating, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior ideas. Those methods are used to reduce overwhelm, manage panic or intrusive memories, and improve relationships and self-regulation.
Lucinda aims to help people notice patterns that cause repeated pain and to try new responses in manageable steps. She supports people working through abandonment or attachment issues, communication problems, impulsivity, isolation, and complicated grief. She also addresses concerns common to veterans and to those facing life transitions.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided under her Ohio LPCC credential. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Motivational Interviewing is a goal-focused way of talking that helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation step by step. It is useful for addictions, behavior change, and moments when someone feels stuck.
Attachment-based therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and trust. It helps people understand patterns in their close relationships and try new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and mood-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new challenges appear.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before scheduling. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing for shorter check-ins, or offering flexibility around work and family commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like motivational interviewing, attachment-based exploration, and CBT to a remote setting so the focus stays on practical steps and real-life progress. -
