About Rhonda
Rhonda Pupella is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, caregiving stress, grief, and issues around self-esteem. Her practice also includes support for people navigating ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, family of origin problems, and codependency patterns.
Rhonda begins by meeting people where they are emotionally. She uses an educational style that focuses on practical skills and clear steps. Sessions start with the present situation and build from real problems people bring into the room. She describes therapy as collaborative and action-oriented rather than abstract talk.
Her work often centers on helping clients reduce overwhelm and learn coping tools. That can mean identifying unhelpful thought patterns, practicing new ways to set limits, or finding small, manageable behavior changes. She also supports people dealing with the exhaustion that comes from caregiving and compassion fatigue.
Rhonda draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to keep sessions grounded in the person's experience and daily life. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques to help people find motivation and practical next steps. The emphasis is on skills people can use between sessions.
People who prefer direct, skill-based sessions may find her style helpful. Her work is respectful and straightforward, aimed at helping people identify what they want to change and how to begin. She accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the client, and shapes sessions around the client's goals and feelings. It helps with relationship strain, low self-esteem, and feeling overwhelmed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and practicing coping skills between meetings. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing mood shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rhonda will help determine which methods fit best based on a client's goals, needs, and everyday constraints. That decision is made together and can change over time as progress is reviewed.
The practical benefit of remote work is fitting therapy into a busy life. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, reduce travel time, and allow shorter follow-up meetings when needed.
