About Rhonda

Rhonda "Noelle" Grimes brings nearly three decades of clinical practice to her work as an LPC-MHSP in Tennessee.

Background and approach

She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered work to create pragmatic, personalized treatment plans that address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD. Her style emphasizes respectful, compassionate engagement while adapting conversations and interventions to each person's situation.

Noelle concentrates on issues that often accompany emotional distress, including self-esteem concerns, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and difficulties with communication and isolation. She also supports clients navigating panic attacks, social anxiety, questions about life purpose, and the process of forgiveness.

Prospective clients will find a therapist who aims to match methods to individual needs and who acknowledges that beginning therapy is itself an important step. Her practice offers multiple online session formats and scheduling that reflect availability.

Noelle notes limits on evening appointments and encourages those seeking care to consider scheduling within her stated hours when matching availability permits.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then develop practical strategies to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and social fears. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without judgment and clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action, which can be helpful for stress, rumination, and life purpose questions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt techniques from these methods so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model on every situation.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location and to continue care when in-person visits are impractical. The variety of options supports engagement by matching the way a person prefers to connect with therapy.
