About Rhonda

Rhonda Palmer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of clinical experience who creates a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where practical change can happen. She emphasizes collaboration and clear boundaries while helping clients explore patterns around stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, addictions, parenting, family dynamics, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Rhonda frames therapy as a process of uncovering strengths rather than “fixing” identity, and she encourages honest, curious engagement so clients can work through old wounds and move toward meaningful goals. Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-aware and client-centered practices.

Rhonda aims to balance warmth and directness, offering empathy and steady guidance while inviting clients to take responsibility for their growth. Based in Missouri, she communicates in English and structures sessions to match each person’s needs and readiness to change.

Online approaches that combine skill-building and attachment work

Rhonda integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered ways of working to support people through practical change and relational patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing concrete coping strategies, making it useful for anxiety, stress, and impulse-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early and current relationship patterns to improve connection, trust, and emotional safety, which can be helpful for communication problems, attachment issues, and relationship-focused worries.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each person to clarify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods so therapy fits the client’s needs and preferences rather than following a fixed plan. That cooperative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping the work and confident in next steps.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow people to access consistent support from a licensed professional without relocating their routine, and they make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions.
