About Rhonda
Rhonda McEntire is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and the disruption that follows big life changes. Rhonda also emphasizes life purpose and coaching as part of her work with clients.
She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her and the client identify thoughts and behaviors that keep patterns alive and develop small, practical experiments to try instead. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Rhonda has supported people through adoption and foster care issues, chronic pain or illness, family of origin concerns, divorce and separation, and substance use challenges. She also addresses codependency, control issues, dissociation, fatherhood issues, gender dysphoria-related concerns, and feelings of emptiness, guilt, or shame.
Her approach combines listening with concrete strategies. Sessions typically include goal-setting, skill practice, and review of what worked between meetings. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she helps people find momentum and make changes that fit their life.
Rhonda practices in Florida and offers services in English. She accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rhonda uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's concerns and priorities, offering reflective listening and collaborative goal-setting. This approach helps clarify what matters most and shapes the work that follows.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and between-session tasks that can be reviewed during online appointments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices are used when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are goals; these skills can be taught, practiced, and reviewed in virtual meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rhonda will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and the ability to fit short check-ins or longer meetings into a busy week. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online work can support the same mix of listening, skill practice, and homework review that happens in person, while allowing people to integrate therapy into their everyday routines.
