About Rhonda
Rhonda Duesterberg helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain. Rhonda also helps those managing compassion fatigue, depression, panic, and questions of life purpose.
Rhonda is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Colorado with nine years of experience. She focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through hard feelings.
How Rhonda works
Sessions are practical and straightforward, aimed at small steps people can use between meetings. Her approach includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. She uses those tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and commit to meaningful values.
She also draws on dialectical skills and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and intense emotions are central. Rhonda works with everyday problems and complex losses alike. She helps people with caregiver stress, blended family challenges, aging and geriatric concerns, and the fallout of natural or human-caused disasters.
Communication problems, guilt, shame, loneliness, and midlife transitions are also areas she addresses. Practical matters are part of the work. Rhonda often blends short-term coaching-style guidance with longer therapeutic goals.
She encourages clear, achievable plans so clients can track progress and notice change over time.

How Rhonda’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite painful thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it focuses on action more than on eliminating discomfort.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and helps people try different responses. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and unhelpful thought patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rhonda will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual connection for relationship work or emotion-focused moments. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, coaching-style support, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and other obligations.
