About Rhonda
Rhonda Bolden brings five years of clinical experience as an Illinois-licensed counselor (LCPC) to her therapeutic work.
Background and approach
She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, mood challenges such as depression and bipolar symptoms, self-esteem and motivation, and a range of related issues including grief, intimacy struggles, sleeping problems, career questions, and ADHD. Her background also includes support around complex life situations like blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, chronic illness, domestic violence, and multicultural concerns.
Her style centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and develop practical coping strategies. Rhonda integrates client-centered principles with cognitive and emotion-focused techniques, and she draws on mindfulness and skills-based methods when appropriate.
She emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping people identify goals and take steps toward greater well-being and purpose. Rhonda works with each person to tailor interventions that fit their situation and strengths, supporting gradual, sustainable change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Rhonda draws on client-centered therapy to prioritize the person's experience and perspective, creating a supportive environment where goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes treatment around what matters most to them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for mood, anxiety, and behavior change. CBT is useful for addressing depression, sleeping difficulties, and coping with life transitions. In addition, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are incorporated to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills when intense emotions or relationship stresses are present.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, try methods that align with goals, and adjust techniques over time so treatment feels relevant and effective for their situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the communication style that best complements daily life.
