About Rhoda
Rev. Rhoda Stuart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 21 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anger, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career setbacks, and stress. Sessions address practical problems such as motivation, confidence, and coping with life changes.
Her approach uses straightforward conversation and concrete steps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build short-term strategies. The work is goal-oriented and focused on what a person wants to change in everyday life.
Rhoda helps people sort through difficult feelings like anxiety, grief, and shame. She also supports those navigating addiction, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as depression or bipolar disorder. Other areas she addresses include parenting strain, caregiver stress, and challenges rooted in family of origin or attachment wounds.
Clients commonly bring issues such as communication problems, boundary setting, and work-related anger or resentment. She can also assist with life-purpose questions, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and stigma related to HIV/AIDS or prejudice. Treatment plans are adjusted based on what each person needs and wants to accomplish.
Sessions are offered in English and follow Missouri LPC standards. Rev. Stuart notes that getting started can take courage, and she guides each person through the initial steps of planning goals and choosing practical strategies.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rev. Stuart uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and actions that keep anger and anxiety active, then practices small behavior changes to test new outcomes. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for brief goal setting and building immediate coping strategies that a person can try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is reviewed. The focus is on practical steps that match a person's daily life and responsibilities.
The online options available with this profile are not listed here; please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. Some formats may be better for shorter problem-focused meetings, while others support longer, deeper sessions. Discussing scheduling and format choices happens during the first planning steps so sessions can fit into everyday life.
