About Rhonda
Rhonda McEntire is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem struggles, bipolar concerns, and life transitions. Rhonda also notes work in coaching and supports issues around codependency and family of origin problems.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what matters most. Sessions include practical tools to manage strong emotions and address patterns that keep someone putting others first. Rhonda draws on methods that teach coping skills and clearer thinking rather than long lectures or vague reassurance.
In practice she combines person-centered listening with structured skill work. That might mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing emotion regulation skills, or setting small achievable goals between sessions. She commonly brings mindfulness exercises into the work to increase present-moment awareness.
Rhonda has experience addressing substance use and the ripple effects it creates in relationships. She also supports people facing chronic illness, adoption or foster care concerns, divorce and separation, and fatherhood issues. The focus is on manageable steps people can use day to day.
Clients can expect collaboration on realistic plans for change. Rhonda invites people to name specific problems and then tries methods that fit those goals. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Rhonda uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and follow what each person brings to the session. That approach focuses on understanding a person's perspective and building trust through reflective conversation. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of their emotions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is practical and goal-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns that involve automatic thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are sometimes introduced to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for high-intensity emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rhonda will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, comfort, and what feels useful in early sessions. That may mean trying brief skills practice one week and more open conversation the next.
The biography does not specify which online session formats she offers. Confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so a person can use a break at work or manage a quiet window at home.
