About Rhonda
Rhonda McEntire is a Florida LMHC with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Her practice also lists coaching and a range of focus areas including adoption and foster care, chronic pain and illness, codependency, control issues, dissociation, and guilt and shame.
Rhonda practices from a person-centered stance that keeps the client's perspective central. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness techniques are part of the toolbox when emotion regulation and present-moment awareness are needed.
In sessions she uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people clarify goals and take practical steps toward them. That can look like setting small, doable tasks between meetings or practicing specific coping skills in session. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person brings.
She lists experience helping with family of origin issues, fatherhood concerns, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, and the emotional aftermath of separation or domestic violence. There is also attention to substance use and recovery, including drug and alcohol addiction and related patterns such as codependency.
Rhonda accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rhonda blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness so sessions focus on what matters to the person. Client-centered therapy means the conversation starts with the client's experience and priorities, and the therapist follows that lead. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help with anxiety, stress, and strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rhonda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT exercises for unhelpful thinking, adding DBT skills for emotion regulation, or using motivational interviewing to support change efforts, and adjusting as the work progresses.
