About Rhonda Palmer

Rhonda Palmer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of professional experience offering grounded, compassionate therapy for adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, addictions, ADHD, and life transitions. She creates a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore attachment patterns, family of origin issues, communication struggles, and the emotional impact of abandonment, infidelity, guilt, or shame.

Using a blend of attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, emotionally-focused, and mindfulness-informed approaches, she helps clients recognize unhelpful patterns, build practical coping skills, and strengthen interpersonal connections. Her work supports people dealing with neurodivergent experiences such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, as well as concerns related to aging, hospice and end-of-life matters, impulsivity, codependency, and commitment worries.

Rhonda emphasizes collaboration, curiosity, and personal responsibility in the therapeutic process. She balances empathy with clear boundaries to keep sessions focused and productive, and she encourages clients to bring honesty and openness even when change feels messy or uncertain. Her aim is to help each person uncover their strengths and move toward a life that reflects their values and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rhonda Palmer draws from attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people understand how attachment wounds affect intimacy, trust, and communication. Client-centered therapy places the client at the center of the process, offering empathic listening and support so individuals can discover their own solutions and build self-worth. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) addresses the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, equipping clients with practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Rhonda works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what feels most helpful and adjust the focus over time to support meaningful progress.

Online therapy with Rhonda can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life, access support from home, and maintain continuity when routines change, while still working with a licensed professional.
