About Rhonda

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship and family challenges, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her style is warm and collaborative.
She listens first, then helps people set clear, realistic goals. Sessions focus on practical skills like communication, coping strategies, and building self-love. Rhonda uses straightforward tools so people can try things between sessions.
How Rhonda works
Rhonda combines several approaches to meet each person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to keep the conversation focused on the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more useful habits.
EMDR is offered for people recovering from traumatic memories. She also brings mindfulness exercises and Imago Relationship Therapy techniques when that fits the concern. Those methods can help reduce emotional reactivity and improve how people connect with others.
Rhonda pays attention to family of origin issues, codependency, and abandonment themes when they come up. Her practice supports a broad range of life challenges, including career stress, grief, panic attacks, and compassion fatigue. Rhonda works with LGBT concerns, fatherhood issues, and financial stress as needed.
People who start with her can expect steady, practical steps toward clearer thinking and healthier behavior.

Online support options
Approaches you can use online
Rhonda integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR in ways that work well through online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead to build trust and clarify goals, which helps with self-esteem and life direction. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, panic, and mood issues. EMDR supports processing traumatic memories by guiding attention while recalling distressing events, which can reduce the intensity of trauma symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rhonda will discuss goals and preferences, try methods together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are involved in deciding whether a skills-based CBT focus, a reflective client-centered path, or targeted EMDR work is best for their situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for full conversations and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework, or quick support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and ongoing life demands.
