About Rhonda
Rhonda Palmer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of clinical experience. She practices in Missouri and works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, family concerns, parenting, ADHD, and related issues such as guilt and shame.
Rhonda prefers straightforward work. She helps people talk through patterns that repeat in relationships and in day-to-day life. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps those patterns going and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy, along with client-centered listening and emotionally-focused strategies. She uses these to help people notice thoughts, feelings, and interaction habits that contribute to shame or ongoing self-blame. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with anxiety and with moments of intense emotion.
Rhonda describes therapy as collaborative. She expects honest effort and curiosity from the person she sees. In return she offers steady feedback, clear boundaries, and practical tools to work with difficult feelings and decisions.
People who do best with her style tend to be ready to reflect, try different ways of responding, and take responsibility for change. Her work addresses both immediate concerns and the background issues that often fuel guilt, shame, or repeated relational difficulties.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Rhonda uses attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when shame or fear of rejection keeps repeating across relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is practical for anxiety, guilt-driven rumination, and behavior change.Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. She will talk with the person about goals and preferences, then try methods that feel like a fit. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten some check-ins, or avoid travel time. It can also let a person choose sessions that match their daily routine, such as a brief midday check-in or a longer evening appointment, depending on available formats and scheduling.
