About Rhonda

Rhonda Lucineo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience who integrates cognitive behavioral techniques into a compassionate, client-centered practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and addiction while also addressing the emotional aftermath of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Her work pays close attention to relationship and family dynamics, including challenges such as attachment disruptions, blended family concerns, divorce and separation, and infidelity. Rhonda emphasizes culturally aware care and brings sensitivity to situations involving adoption, foster care, caregiver stress, domestic violence, and postpartum depression.

She uses evidence-informed methods to help clients process post-traumatic stress, explore attachment patterns, and develop practical coping skills for day-to-day life. In sessions she aims to create a collaborative space where clients can examine difficult experiences, strengthen coping strategies, and pursue healthier relationships and emotional balance.

Based in Connecticut and holding CT LPC 002108, Rhonda combines a trauma-focused perspective with solution-oriented interventions to support healing and growth. Her blend of approaches is intended to meet people where they are and work toward meaningful, sustainable change over time.

Integrating Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is focused on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with addictive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotions and interpersonal responses, helping clients address attachment issues, relationship struggles, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's own experience and goals, offering empathetic listening and support to encourage self-directed growth and resilience.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to consider goals, preferences, and the nature of presenting concerns, and then tailors methods so interventions feel relevant and manageable. That collaborative process helps refine which techniques will be most useful as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide greater flexibility in scheduling and access. These formats allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while still engaging with licensed professionals and evidence-informed methods.
