    About Rhonda

    Rhonda Pupella is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with more than 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting or relationship strain. Her focus includes caregiver stress, family of origin issues, ADHD, and women's issues for individuals seeking practical help.

    Rhonda takes an educational, down-to-earth approach. Sessions start by looking at where someone is emotionally right now. She listens with respect and kindness, and helps people identify small, doable steps toward change. She emphasizes learning coping skills and building on strengths rather than telling clients what to do.

    Her practice blends several approaches to match a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Client-centered work puts the person's goals and experience at the center of the conversations. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build commitment at their own pace.

    Rhonda also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and track progress in simple ways. She often helps people manage transitions, reduce overwhelm, and rebuild self-esteem after loss or trauma. Her style is steady, encouraging, and practical, aimed at helping people make changes they can maintain.

    People interested in starting therapy complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.

  2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

    Rhonda uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to build motivation at a comfortable pace. This approach is useful for goals like reducing avoidance, improving self-care, or making changes that feel daunting.

    She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which means the therapist follows the client's lead, listens deeply, and supports whatever goals the person brings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

    Finding the best approach is a team effort. Rhonda will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and priorities shift.

    Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their energy level, such as a focused problem-solving visit or a longer skills session, depending on the options available.
