About Rhonda

Rhonda Duesterberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and major life changes. She also supports those coping with relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.

Rhonda keeps sessions straightforward and warm. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Conversations focus on practical steps as well as understanding emotions behind behavior.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with cognitive and mindfulness-based tools. That means she pays attention to emotional experience while also using exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She may introduce mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help manage distressing thoughts and sensations.

Rhonda has nine years of professional experience working with a range of concerns including depression, panic, parenting stress, intimacy issues, and life transitions. She combines listening with targeted techniques to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward. Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Rhonda works with adults in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging as ways to meet clients where they are. To begin, a person fills out a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that fits their needs.

Online support

Emotion-focused work and flexible online therapy

Rhonda uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and understand core emotions that drive difficult patterns. EFT focuses on how emotions shape reactions and relationships and helps people shift toward healthier emotional responses.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while choosing actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she uses to spot unhelpful thinking and practice different ways of responding to stress and anxiety.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person. Together they monitor what helps and adjust the plan as needed to find the right mix of emotional work and practical skills.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what works for their life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers short check-ins, and messaging is handy for ongoing, flexible support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between sessions.
