About Rhonda
Rhonda Russ is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of counseling experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and problems related to sexual behavior. She emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach that supports people taking the first step toward change.
Rhonda aims to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly. She pays attention to compassion fatigue and moral injury and listens for how those concerns show up in daily life. Her work includes addressing addictions, anger, and coping with life changes.
She also assists people affected by natural or human-caused disasters and those experiencing post-traumatic stress and dissociation. Other areas she commonly addresses include domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, sex addiction, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic exercise and pornography use.
Rhonda’s practice supports people dealing with guilt, shame, social anxiety, mood disorders, and questions about life purpose. She works with first responder issues and women’s issues as part of her broader practice focus. She encourages practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her approach centers on collaboration; she helps clients identify goals and then chooses techniques that fit each person’s needs. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful, helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
How therapeutic approaches and online sessions fit together
Rhonda describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. One commonly used approach focuses on trauma-informed care, which helps people understand how traumatic events affect thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches skills to manage triggers and distress. Another approach emphasizes coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching short, practical strategies for breathing, grounding, and shifting unhelpful thought patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review current concerns, past experiences, and personal preferences to decide which methods make the most sense. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant to the client’s goals.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the specific formats before booking since the biography does not list session types. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue care after relocation or while managing disruptions related to natural or human-caused disasters. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and techniques so therapy works well across different settings.
