Rhonda Russ

Rhonda Russ is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of counseling experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and addiction-related concerns. Rhonda aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and supportive for someone taking that first step.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, sexual behavior issues, and compassion fatigue. She combines practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a calm, nonjudgmental presence. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, achievable steps for change.

Rhonda listens for the patterns that sap energy and hope, then helps clients try new ways of responding. She talks through coping skills for intense feelings, safety planning when needed, and ways to manage urges tied to process addictions. Practical homework and real-life practice are part of the work.

People often come for help after life changes, stressful jobs, or painful events. Rhonda also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, dissociation, or the fallout from domestic violence and sexual assault. Her approach is steady and focused on what will make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

Rhonda works in English and practices in Texas as an LPC. She encourages anyone ready to take a step toward relief to reach out and start with a short matching questionnaire to connect and schedule initial sessions.

How evidence-based techniques translate online

Rhonda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage strong emotions and trauma responses. One common method teaches practical coping skills for anxiety and anger, focusing on breathing, grounding, and short behavioral changes that can reduce distress in the moment. Another method involves structured work on trauma-related symptoms, helping people make sense of upsetting memories and reduce their hold on daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rhonda will work with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She looks for small, testable steps and adjusts methods as progress is made or new challenges appear.

If you are thinking about online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit more easily into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let them connect from wherever they are located in Texas. Online work can also make short check-ins simpler and allow flexible timing around work or other responsibilities. Discuss which formats and rhythms will work best during the initial matching and scheduling process.
