About Rhonda
Rhonda Bolden is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, mood challenges, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach centers on building a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about what they are feeling and thinking.
Rhonda prioritizes practical steps alongside emotional support. Sessions often include identifying patterns that keep clients stuck and trying out new ways of coping.
How Rhonda works
She uses client-centered methods to follow each person's lead, and incorporates cognitive tools to reframe unhelpful thoughts. People who work with her can expect a calm, collaborative style. She encourages small experiments between sessions to test what works.
Mindfulness techniques and emotion-focused work are used when helpful to deepen awareness of feelings and reconnect to what matters most. Rhonda also addresses life-stage and situational concerns like caregiving stress, chronic illness, grief, and career transitions. She pays attention to multicultural factors and experiences of prejudice and discrimination when they affect mental health.
When trauma or safety concerns appear, she moves carefully and at the client’s pace. Her services include a mix of therapy and coaching to support practical goals like better sleep, improved communication, or managing attention and mood. People interested in beginning can expect straightforward guidance about next steps and what each session will involve.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities. A therapist using this approach creates space for people to talk through their concerns and choose the pace and direction of the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together; it helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral changes to feel better. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help manage strong emotions and reduce harmful coping patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Rhonda will work together with each person to choose what fits best. She typically begins by asking about current struggles, immediate goals, and what has or hasn't helped before. From there she suggests a plan and adjusts methods based on how things are going so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls replicate a face-to-face conversation when a visual connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share in writing between sessions or check in outside scheduled appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping care consistent.
