About Rhonda
Rhonda Russ is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, anger, and life changes, and she lists life purpose among her focus areas.
Rhonda uses practical conversation to identify what feels stuck and which patterns keep repeating. She listens for how stress and past events affect day-to-day functioning. Sessions include straightforward work on coping skills, problem-focused steps, and talking through difficult memories when needed.
Her background includes responding to issues tied to disasters and first responder work, along with experiences related to dissociation, domestic violence, sexual assault, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behaviors. She also addresses guilt, shame, social anxiety, mood disorders, and women’s issues as part of her practice.
Rhonda describes helping people notice automatic reactions and then trying different responses in daily life. That can mean short-term strategies for calming down, plus longer-term work on relationships and purpose. The emphasis is on clear, usable techniques rather than abstract theory.
Sessions are conducted in English from her Texas practice. For people questioning what comes next after a job change, a loss, or when life feels directionless, she focuses on concrete steps to reduce overwhelm and clarify next actions.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Rhonda lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as the foundation of her work. One common evidence-based approach focuses on stabilizing symptoms with practical skills such as grounding, breathing, and activity planning to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. This type of work helps when immediate coping and symptom reduction are the goal.Another evidence-based focus is on processing traumatic memories in a structured way that reduces their intensity over time and helps people regain control of daily reactions. That method can be useful for trauma, post-traumatic stress, and effects of abuse when deeper processing is needed.
Finding the right method is part of the early phase of working together. She will discuss options, listen to the client's goals and preferences, and adapt the plan as therapy evolves. This collaborative decision-making helps match the approach to what the client wants to accomplish.
If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking. The practical benefits often include fewer travel needs, easier scheduling around work or family commitments, and the ability to check in from different locations when life is busy. Talk with her during the initial matching steps about how to fit sessions into your routine and which format will work best for your day-to-day needs.
