About Rhonda

Rhonda Cox is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and other life challenges. She welcomes straightforward conversations and practical steps that fit into busy lives. Her style is calm and encouraging, aimed at small changes that add up over time.

Rhonda brings 21 years of experience in mental health settings. She has worked in psychiatric units, outpatient community mental health centers, and in a private practice she established in 2013. Her longstanding work offers a wide perspective on common problems like mood disorders, panic, trauma, and caregiving stress.

Rhonda uses Mindfulness Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. That means clients can expect a mix of present-moment awareness, practical thinking tools, and short-term goal work. Conversations often include skill practice, noticing patterns, and planning small experiments between meetings.

She describes her approach as nonjudgmental and encouraging. Sessions are aimed at helping people grow, regain direction, and build confidence. Rhonda also offers coaching-style support for life transitions and career concerns.

People often return later for fine-tuning after primary goals are met. Her work supports those coping with sleep problems, parenting strain, codependency, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue. Rhonda’s aim is to help people create stronger, more confident lives with clear steps forward.

Approaches you can use in online therapy

Rhonda commonly uses Mindfulness Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and increase calm; it can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms of depression, panic, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client’s goals and daily life. Sessions often mix short-term goal work, skill practice, and mindful awareness so the plan changes as progress is made.

Confirm available online session options before booking, since this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on practice and planning. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for remote sessions and help clients bring new skills into everyday routines.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
