About Rhonda
Rhonda Palmer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Missouri with eight years of clinical experience. She creates a calm, honest space where people can talk through worry, relationship patterns, and life changes without feeling judged. Rhonda emphasizes practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Rhonda helps people who struggle with anxiety, stress, self-esteem, addictions, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports those dealing with family-of-origin concerns, communication problems, attachment struggles, and grief around end-of-life issues.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life skills you can use between meetings. Her style is collaborative and direct. She listens first, then offers concrete strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches.
Rhonda uses Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Based ideas when relationships and connection are central to the work. Expect a mix of practical tools and reflective conversation. Rhythm matters to her - small, consistent changes often lead to bigger shifts.
She keeps boundaries and encourages honesty so the work stays focused and respectful. Rhonda is comfortable addressing impulsivity, codependency, commitment issues, and the challenges of neurodivergent experiences such as autism and ADHD. She aims to help people uncover their own strengths and build a life that fits their values.
People who do best with her approach want to be engaged and willing to try new habits. Rhonda asks for curiosity, responsibility, and honesty as the foundation for steady change.
How her approaches translate to online care
Rhonda uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; this approach works well for anxiety, impulsivity, and building day-to-day skills. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns or connection are the focus, helping people understand how past bonds affect current interactions and teaching ways to respond differently.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Rhonda will work with clients to identify goals, test methods, and adjust the plan as progress is made. She values collaboration and often combines techniques so the work fits each person's needs and rhythm.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video makes it easy to have a full-session conversation and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick support, homework, or stepping through a brief strategy between sessions. These options give flexibility to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
