Pregnancy Loss Therapy for Women in Cincinnati, Ohio
Pregnancy Loss Can Feel Like a Grief That Few People Truly Understand.
Whether your loss happened early or later in pregnancy, your grief matters, even when the people around you don’t fully understand what you’re carrying.
Online pregnancy loss therapy available to clients in Ohio, Indiana, Florida, and Puerto Rico.
You may be carrying:
Grief that comes in waves
Anxiety or fear about trying again
Guilt or questions about whether you could have done something differently
Anger toward your body or a sense that it has let you down
Painful or unexpected reactions to pregnancy announcements
A quiet loneliness that can be difficult to explain to people who haven’t experienced pregnancy loss
Pregnancy loss therapy can give you a private space where your grief is taken seriously, without pressure to move on or grieve according to someone else’s timeline.
Your grief is real, and it matters.
Why can early pregnancy loss feel so significant when the pregnancy was so brief?”
Pregnancy loss can involve grieving more than what happened physically. You may also be grieving the future you had begun to imagine.
Hope may have started with a positive test. You may have pictured milestones, made plans, or begun imagining what life might look like with this pregnancy.
When the pregnancy ends, the people around you may not fully understand everything that was lost. You may even feel pressure to move forward before you’re ready, particularly after an early loss.
There is no timeline you have to follow for your grief.
In pregnancy loss therapy, we can make space for:
Sadness without minimizing it
Anger without needing to apologize for it
Jealousy or complicated reactions without judgment
Hope without pressure to feel hopeful
You Don’t Have to Find the Positive in What Happened.
Meet Dr. Ana Baratta, LPCC
I’m Dr. Ana Baratta, a bilingual licensed therapist supporting women navigating pregnancy loss, infertility, anxiety, and trauma.
This work is deeply personal to me. I have experienced infertility and five pregnancy losses myself. I know what it is like to carry a loss that other people may not fully understand, and to navigate the complicated emotions that can come with trying to move forward after a pregnancy ends.
My experience doesn’t mean I know exactly what your experience feels like. Your story, your pregnancy, and your grief are your own. But you won’t have to convince me that your loss matters or explain why you’re still affected by it.
In therapy, there is room for grief, anger, anxiety, uncertainty, hope, and whatever else may be part of your experience. I offer therapy in English and Spanish and incorporate EMDR when it’s the right fit. My approach is warm, direct, and trauma-informed, with respect for your story and your pace.
How I Support Women After Pregnancy Loss:
Through online therapy sessions, I can support you in:
Processing the emotions and grief connected to your loss
Exploring anxiety or fear about future pregnancies
Working through guilt, self-blame, or questions about whether you could have done something differently
Processing distress connected to the pregnancy, loss, medical procedures, or other difficult experiences
Exploring changes in how you feel about or relate to your body
My approach is trauma-informed, and I incorporate EMDR when it’s appropriate for your needs, goals, and readiness. EMDR may be part of our work when certain memories or experiences connected to your loss continue to feel distressing.
Sessions are available online to clients in Ohio, Indiana, Florida, and Puerto Rico. You can attend from a private space that feels comfortable for you, which may be especially helpful when you’re already managing the physical and emotional demands that can follow pregnancy loss.

As We Work Together, You May Begin to Notice:
Memories of your loss may feel more manageable to talk about or reflect on.
You may have more ways to respond when anxiety about the future shows up.
You may find room for hope without feeling pressured to be hopeful.
You may begin to recognize guilt or self-blame with greater compassion for yourself.
You may feel more able to talk about your loss instead of carrying so much of it alone.
Moving forward doesn’t require forgetting what happened or leaving your grief behind. Therapy can give you space to find your own way of carrying what this pregnancy and loss mean to you.
Online Pregnancy Loss Therapy

If you live in Cincinnati or elsewhere in Ohio, you can attend therapy from a private space that feels comfortable for you. I also provide online therapy to clients in Indiana, Florida, and Puerto Rico.
Whether your loss happened recently or some time ago, you don’t need to reach a certain point in your grief before reaching out for support.
You do not have to explain why this matters.
You do not have to justify your grief.
You do not have to carry it alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
You don't have to meet a clinical threshold to deserve support. If the loss is affecting your daily functioning, your relationship, your sense of self, or your ability to imagine the future — therapy can help. Many people find that the pain is compounded by feeling like they have to minimize their loss because it was "early." The size of a loss is not measured in weeks. If you're grieving, that grief is valid. I work with clients after miscarriage, chemical pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, and other early losses — with particular sensitivity to the silence and isolation that often surrounds these experiences.
-
Yes. Grief doesn't follow a schedule, and pregnancy loss grief in particular can resurface around due dates, subsequent pregnancies, other people's announcements, or major life transitions. It's also common for early losses to be compounded by later ones, creating a layered grief that can feel disproportionate to others who don't know the full history. If grief is resurfacing, that's not a sign that something is wrong with you — it's a sign that the loss mattered. Therapy helps you integrate the experience rather than bury it, so it has less power to ambush you over time.

-
Grief after pregnancy loss is a normal, healthy response to a real loss — and it can be intense, nonlinear, and longer-lasting than people expect. Clinical depression involves a persistent pattern of symptoms (deep hopelessness, inability to function, loss of interest in most things, changes in sleep and appetite) that goes beyond grief and warrants professional support. The two can overlap. Many people experience a grief that deepens into depression, especially when the loss is not adequately acknowledged by those around them. If you're unsure where you fall, therapy can help you assess what you're experiencing and make sure you're getting the right level of support.
