About Rhonda
Rhonda Russ is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, anger, and life changes. Rhonda focuses on helping individuals who want clearer coping skills and steadier emotional responses.
Rhonda spends sessions listening to what is most pressing and practical. She asks about patterns that keep showing up and helps people notice warning signs before frustration becomes an outburst. Conversations include what happens in relationships and at work, and what small changes might reduce ongoing resentment or reactive behavior.
Her background includes long experience in clinical settings where complex trauma and sexual behavior issues were common. That history informs how she supports people with post-traumatic stress, dissociation, self-harm, and related concerns. She also has experience with compassion fatigue and first responder issues, so work-related stress and moral injury are familiar topics.
In sessions Rhonda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients practice new responses and build clearer coping strategies. She focuses on skills people can use between meetings, such as breathing and grounding tools, brief behavioral changes, and planning for calmer reactions. Rhonda encourages straightforward talk about guilt, shame, and difficult emotions so clients can reduce their hold over daily decisions.
People who reach out are guided through a clear starting process that includes a short questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting. Rhonda works in English in Texas and does not accept international clients.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Rhonda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and trauma-informed care. One common approach involves teaching grounding and breathing exercises to reduce acute agitation and manage stress responses; these are short practices clients can try during moments of rising anger. Another element is behavioral skill work, where specific actions and routines are identified to interrupt reactive patterns and build steadier habits that reduce resentment and workplace frustration.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals, daily routine, and how they prefer to work. That could mean more time on practice exercises, planning responses to known triggers, or reviewing what worked between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person appointment would be difficult. Some people find phone or video meetings help maintain continuity of care and practice skills in everyday settings without rearranging their day entirely.
