About Rhonda
Rhonda Duesterberg is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She supports clients facing relationship tensions, parenting concerns, grief, trauma, and mood challenges. Her approach is straightforward and practical, geared to parents and adults looking for useful tools in daily life.
Rhonda keeps sessions focused and respectful. She builds a calm space where people can say what they need to say.
Background and approach
Conversations center on real situations and concrete steps, not on jargon or long lectures. She uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. That can mean learning skills to change unhelpful thinking, practicing ways to tolerate strong feelings, or focusing on values and small behavior changes.
She adjusts tools over time so work feels relevant and doable. Rhonda brings nine years of experience to sessions and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC. Her work in Colorado has included clients coping with trauma, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and midlife transitions.
Parents often come to her for help balancing demands, improving communication, and managing intense emotions. She combines practical coaching with emotional support so people leave sessions with a clear next step they can try between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Rhonda commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with stress, anxiety, and parenting concerns. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that support those values. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change patterns that lead to distress.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions warm and responsive. That approach emphasizes listening, acceptance, and tailoring the pace to each person. Together these methods give a balance of skill teaching and emotional support during remote sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and recommend methods that match your situation. That collaborative process often means trying a few strategies and adjusting as you go.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice. Phone calls can fit a short check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, storming through a problem, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and other responsibilities.
