How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Rhonda draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to anchor her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person’s pace to build trust and self-direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to choose strategies that fit their goals and daily life. That collaborative decision-making helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant to what someone wants to change.
