About Rhoda
Rev. Rhoda Stuart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as relationships, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and issues linked to family and trauma. She also lists focus areas that include abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and guilt and shame.
Rhoda keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people name patterns, try small changes, and track what shifts. Conversations are practical and aimed at real-life problems, like managing anger, facing past hurts, or finding steadier mood routines.
Clients can expect direct discussion about what is causing distress and what might help in day-to-day life. She pays attention to how family of origin, discrimination, or veteran experiences show up in current difficulties. Topics such as addiction, bipolar disorder, and grief are addressed with an emphasis on concrete coping steps.
Her background includes many years supporting people through career stress, parenting strain, and end-of-life concerns tied to hospice work. She combines short-term problem solving with attention to longer-standing patterns that keep people stuck.
Practical matters are part of the work: setting clear goals, measuring progress, and revising plans when needed. If someone is holding guilt or shame, she will talk directly about those feelings and how they affect behavior and relationships.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Rev. Rhoda Stuart uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. CBT often focuses on clear steps you can practice between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and managing anger.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on identifying small, concrete changes and building on what already works. This approach is goal-oriented and often moves quickly to practical strategies for everyday problems like career stress or relationship friction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, solution-focused techniques, or a mix will best address their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can shift as the work proceeds.
