About Rhonda
Rhonda Duesterberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She also supports people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and trauma. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what matters now. She encourages small steps that fit into everyday life.
Rhonda aims to make sessions feel calm and nonjudgmental. She creates space for people to talk about hard feelings and confusing thoughts. Conversations often include practical skills and mindfulness tools to ease overwhelming moments.
Her work draws on several approaches, including Mindfulness Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches are used to help with mood struggles, panic, post-traumatic stress, and coping after loss or major change.
Rhonda brings nine years of professional experience to her practice. She focuses on clear communication and realistic goals that match each person’s needs. Sessions are paced to what the person can handle, with attention to practical strategies more than theory.
People who want a supportive, steady presence often find her style helpful. She encourages people to notice what matters to them and to take manageable steps toward those values. If you are ready to start, the next step is a short questionnaire and a scheduling choice through the platform.
How online work and approaches fit together
Rhonda commonly draws on Mindfulness Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her sessions. Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, which can ease anxiety and stress. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which is useful for life transitions and motivation. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that contribute to depression or panic.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rhonda will listen to your goals and try methods that match what you need. Together you can adjust the focus as you learn what helps most, and she aims to use techniques that fit your pace and daily life.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and make follow-up work easier to maintain. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or options that are less demanding on bandwidth or camera use, depending on what the therapist and client decide works best.
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.
