Lucinda Rhoads, LPCC

Lucinda Rhoads is an Ohio-licensed therapist with 29 years of experience guiding people through complex life challenges. As an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - she blends years of clinical training with a compassionate, practical approach to help clients manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to neurodiversity such as ADHD.

Her work emphasizes understanding, validation, and collaboration. Lucinda creates a space where individuals can explore their experiences, strengthen communication skills, and build strategies for healthier relationships and improved self-esteem. She also addresses addictions, grief, parenting and family dynamics, career transitions, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue, tailoring interventions to each person's needs.

Using evidence-informed methods and a warm, client-centered stance, Lucinda supports people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and the lingering effects of past trauma while also offering coaching for life purpose and practical problem solving. She aims to walk alongside clients as they pursue greater self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lucinda Rhoads draws on several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people explore connection, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues so they can form healthier bonds. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and strengths - the therapist offers empathy and guidance while the person leads the pace and direction of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - it is practical for managing anxiety, panic, stress, and unhelpful patterns that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lucinda works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy expands access to consistent care by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or mobility constraints and allow ongoing support between meetings. For many people, remote sessions provide a flexible, effective way to engage in therapy with a licensed professional while balancing life’s demands.
