About Rhonda
Rhonda Pupella is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has practiced in Texas for more than 15 years. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, caregiving strain, and self-esteem struggles. Rhonda works with adults facing relationship concerns, grief, life changes, ADHD-related challenges, and issues tied to family of origin or codependency.
Her approach starts by meeting a person where they are emotionally. Sessions are educational and practical. She talks clients through coping skills and ways to try small changes that can reduce daily stress.
Background and approach
Rhonda values respect and kindness in the work she does. She offers a steady, supportive presence while encouraging people to build confidence in handling hard moments. The goal is to help people feel more able to cope, not to rush solutions.
Over her career she has used client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. That mix allows her to tailor sessions to what a person needs in the moment and toward their goals. People who choose her often want clear steps and practical tools as well as someone who listens.
Rhonda invites anyone ready to begin learning new ways of coping to take that first step toward change.
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Rhonda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, offering empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it works well for anxiety, low mood, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Rhonda will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then adapt methods to fit what they hope to achieve. Together they decide whether to focus on learning skills, exploring feelings, or solving practical problems in daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy routines while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
