About Rhonda
Rhonda "Noelle" Grimes is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with 28 years of experience. She works with people who are carrying worry, low mood, or the aftereffects of painful events. Her stated focus areas include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD.
Noelle uses straightforward talk and practical strategies in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and reconnect with what matters. She spends time on problems like panic, social anxiety, impulsivity, and feeling isolated.
She also addresses relationship problems at the individual level, including communication difficulties, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame. Sessions look at how those feelings show up now and what a person can do differently, step by step. The tone is direct and respectful rather than clinical jargon.
Noelle asks people to be realistic about scheduling; her biography notes evening appointments are at capacity. She adapts conversations and plans to what the person wants to work on. People choose a first session, talk through immediate concerns, and agree on short-term goals.
Her practice emphasizes plain language, concrete tools, and steady pacing. She encourages small, practical moves that fit into daily life rather than sweeping promises or quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most. In online sessions this often means learning short exercises to reduce getting stuck in self-judgment and practicing values-based actions between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying small behavior changes. Online CBT sessions usually include clear, homework-style tasks such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing exposure for panic or social anxiety.
Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person's concerns and reflections rather than imposing a rigid plan. That way the person and therapist together pick which strategies to use and when to shift focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, adjusting over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so a session can happen between other commitments. Those practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while managing daily demands.
