About Rhonda
Rhonda Bolden is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with five years of clinical practice. She works with adults on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, motivation, and related challenges. Rhonda names blended family issues among her additional focus areas and often sees people navigating the changes those households bring.
Her approach is straightforward and conversation-based. Rhonda listens to what matters most and helps clients clarify priorities. Sessions are practical and aim to identify small, workable changes rather than quick fixes.
Rhonda uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, and mindfulness. She draws on these tools to help with mood regulation, coping after loss, and navigating difficult interactions. The techniques are taught in plain language with clear examples.
People meet with Rhonda to talk through relationship strain, grief, career stress, or shifts after a major life event. She also supports those facing health challenges, caregiver strain, and issues related to trauma or discrimination.
Her sessions emphasize collaboration. Rhonda helps people set realistic goals and practices to try between meetings. She describes progress as a series of adjustments, not a single moment of change.
How therapy approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people clarify their own goals and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication during conflict.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences together and suggest which methods to prioritize. That plan can change as needs shift, so the process stays collaborative rather than fixed.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins between appointments. They also let people keep sessions while balancing work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, worksheets, and skill practice to an online setting so the work remains concrete and action-focused.
