Rhonda Russ

Rhonda Russ is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard emotions and begin to make changes. Rhonda emphasizes steady, supportive work that helps people feel heard and understood.

Her practice centers on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse. She also helps people facing addiction-related struggles and sexual behavior concerns. Women's issues are listed among her areas of focus, and she addresses those matters with attention to each person's goals and values.

Rhonda also works with compassion fatigue, moral injury, and challenges that come after natural or human-caused disasters. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress. Practical coping strategies are offered alongside opportunities to process painful experiences.

People can expect a straightforward approach that balances emotional listening with concrete steps. Sessions explore patterns of thought and behavior, identify immediate coping tools, and set small, achievable goals. Rhonda aims to help people build skills they can use between sessions.

Her background includes substantial professional experience in a range of settings in Texas. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match each person’s needs. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.

How evidence-based approaches guide online care

Rhonda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and life problems. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and depression by teaching breathing work, grounding exercises, and simple behavior changes to reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Another approach helps people process traumatic memories and the reactions that follow by breaking down overwhelming experiences into manageable steps and teaching pacing and stabilization techniques.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist works together with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process includes checking in about results and shifting strategies when needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for quick check-ins between in-person visits. They can also allow people to work with licensed professionals from their community when travel or time are limiting factors.
