01About Rhonda
Rhonda Bolden is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with five years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges with motivation. Her work emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental setting where clients can name what they feel and think without pressure.
Rhonda aims to make the first steps toward change less overwhelming. She offers steady support and practical guidance while people decide what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and grounded in the client’s goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her approach blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means she listens for what matters most, then helps people notice patterns of thinking and try new coping skills.
Mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas are used when they fit a person’s situation. Rhonda has worked across a range of concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, career transitions, ADHD, and mood disorders such as bipolar. She also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, domestic violence history, and cultural or prejudice-related stressors.
People who reach out can expect a collaborative tone. Rhonda helps clients set small, concrete steps between sessions and checks in on what is helpful. The work is practical, paced to the person, and centered on building more stable day-to-day functioning.

04Online support
Therapeutic methods for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they feel heard and can choose their own direction; it helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to sort things out. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; it is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and patterns that keep causing trouble. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication, which can help with intense feelings and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and change-oriented.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets people see visual cues during sessions, phone calls use less bandwidth and can suit tight schedules, live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between appointments. These options increase flexibility and make regular contact more manageable for many people.
