About Rhonda
Rhonda Russ is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, anger, and major life changes.
Rhonda helps people talk through difficult memories and reactions. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma-related symptoms and behavior concerns. She also supports people dealing with moral injury and compassion fatigue from demanding roles.
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps. She works to make it possible to name what feels heavy and to notice small changes in daily life. Conversations cover how past events still affect current behavior and relationships.
Rhonda has particular experience with post-traumatic stress, dissociation, domestic violence, and sexual assault and abuse. She also addresses process addictions such as gambling, porn, and exercise, and sex addiction. Women's issues and social anxiety are included in her practice focus.
People looking for help with guilt and shame can bring those feelings into the work. Rhonda can help untangle how guilt and shame influence choices and mood. She encourages practical coping skills alongside exploring difficult feelings.
Her practice is based in Texas and sessions are offered in English. Before booking, confirm the current session formats so you know how meetings will be scheduled.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Rhonda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and anxiety. One common approach focuses on processing traumatic memories in a structured way so they interfere less with daily life. Another approach targets problematic behaviors by identifying triggers and building alternative coping skills to reduce urges or compulsive actions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what feels most helpful. Confirm available session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help when a quieter setup is needed or when you prefer not to be on camera. These practical benefits can make regular sessions easier to keep while working on guilt, shame, trauma, or addictive behaviors.Areas of expertise
