About Rhonda
Rhonda Duesterberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with nine years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and life changes. She also supports people who are facing relationship tension, family problems, grief, trauma, and parenting concerns.
Rhonda focuses on a straightforward, conversational style. She encourages clients to name what feels hard and then work on practical steps. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to fit what each person can manage. Techniques are chosen to help with everyday coping, from handling panic to managing anger.
Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally focused methods, and other evidence-informed practices. That mix is used to address mood problems, post-traumatic stress reactions, and communication problems within families. She also helps with caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and midlife adjustments.
Rhonda aims to make therapy a place to practice new responses and to reduce isolation. She works with people on issues like guilt, shame, emptiness, and finding meaning after loss. Sessions include talking through patterns, learning new skills, and setting realistic short-term goals.
People choosing to start will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identifying values and taking small steps toward those values. This can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling lost after life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce panic, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is centered on identifying and working with emotions that show up in close relationships, which can help with communication problems and intimacy-related concerns.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to test methods, adjust strategies, and pick what fits the person's goals and needs. That might mean shorter skill-focused work for immediate symptoms or deeper emotion-focused sessions for relationship patterns.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people work on skills in the settings where their daily life happens, which can help with parenting stress, caregiver responsibilities, and managing midlife changes.
