About Rhonda

Rhonda Duesterberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation, and big life changes. She also addresses relationship and family concerns along with grief, trauma, and mood issues.

Rhonda listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Sessions are conversational and purpose-driven. She encourages people to name what matters to them and then try small changes that fit their life.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive tools to shift thinking patterns, and client-centered ways of building trust. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior ideas and emotion-focused work when those fit the concern.

People often come for help with feeling overwhelmed by new responsibilities, coping after loss, or sorting out relationship conflict. Rhonda helps clients break problems into manageable parts and practice concrete coping skills between sessions. She also supports work on clarity of values and goal-setting.

Rhonda has worked across community settings over her career, helping people navigate life transitions and persistent stress. She speaks English and practices in Colorado. To begin, readers are invited to use the online therapy options to match and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and questions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical exercises to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building trust so people can explore concerns at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rhonda will discuss what methods might fit based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as a client learns what helps.

The therapist’s biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or school, keep appointments when travel is difficult, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals can use strategies from ACT and CBT in virtual sessions, such as in-session experiments, guided values work, and skill practice between meetings, which can help with anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns.
