About Rhonda

Rhonda Hunt is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience based in California. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship problems, and parenting stress. Her work often focuses on recovering from abuse, managing panic, and rebuilding self-esteem after painful life events.

Rhonda uses a collaborative, down-to-earth style in sessions. She listens carefully and helps clients name what matters most to them. Mindfulness Therapy features in her practice, along with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. She also draws on EMDR and Imago Relationship Therapy when those methods fit a person’s needs.

In the room, Rhonda aims to make change feel manageable. She helps people build practical coping skills, improve communication, and work through family-of-origin issues. Conversations can include checking patterns, practicing new responses, and slowing down to notice thoughts and sensations.

Rhonda is especially interested in midlife transitions, fatherhood issues, and care for those facing compassion fatigue. She supports people processing shame, abandonment, and codependency, and helps with life purpose and career questions. Her approach balances present-moment awareness with tools to reduce distress.

Clients who choose Rhonda begin with clear goals and step-by-step planning. She encourages small experiments between sessions and tracks progress over time. English-language services are provided in California by a California LMFT.

How Mindfulness and Practical Therapies Help Online

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations so stress and reactivity feel more manageable. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, grief, and reclaiming calm during big life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens without judgement and helps clients find their own answers, which supports work on communication problems, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is practical for mood disorders, panic attacks, and adapting to career or financial stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client will talk together about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative practice rather than a fixed prescription.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what remote formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, allow brief check-ins during a workday, or avoid needing to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, CBT tools, and communication practice to a remote setting to support steady progress.

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.
