Rhonda Robertson, LMFT, helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps. Her approach aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone.
Rhonda brings four years of professional experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. She works with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and ADHD-related concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be a place to talk candidly without judgment and to find realistic ways forward. Her style centers on listening first and then offering straightforward techniques. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to map thoughts and behaviors, and she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and small actions.
She also uses client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep work practical and goal-oriented. Rhonda treats trauma with sensitivity and helps people build coping skills that fit daily life. She supports parents dealing with postpartum depression, caregiver stress, and complex family-of-origin issues.
She also addresses addiction, eating and food-related concerns, and feelings of shame or abandonment. People who choose her can expect direct conversation, clear next steps, and a focus on what can change now. She encourages taking small, steady actions and checks in on what is working as therapy progresses.
How different approaches guide online therapy
Rhonda uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges where thoughts influence actions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values. ACT can be helpful for stress, avoidance, and for people who feel stuck despite knowing what they want.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can be used for brief check-ins or reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines, work breaks, or when a shorter form of contact is preferred.
