About Rhonda

Rhonda Cox is a licensed counselor who helps people who are juggling stress and major life changes. She welcomes straightforward conversations about anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, grief, and everyday struggles that make life harder to manage. Her style is calm and practical, aimed at making small changes that add up to better days.

Rhonda earned licensure as an LPC and as an LCPC and has worked in mental health since 1999.

Background and approach

She ran a independent practice beginning in 2013 after experience in psychiatric units and community mental health centers. That background means she has seen a wide range of issues and treatment settings. Her sessions focus on skills people can use right away.

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer thinking. Solution-focused work zeroes in on realistic next steps to move forward. Mindfulness strategies teach ways to steady attention and reduce reactivity.

Rhonda takes a gentle, nonjudgmental approach and emphasizes encouragement and practical support. She helps clients set clear goals, track progress, and adjust plans when needed. Many clients return later for fine-tuning as life changes.

She provides care from South Carolina and communicates in English. Rhonda has 21 years of experience as a practicing clinician and lists specialties that include trauma and abuse, parenting, relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, ADHD, and mood disorders. Therapy sessions focus on collaboration and doable steps.

Rhonda aims to help people build confidence, reduce overwhelm, and find clearer direction in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Rhonda uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small experiments that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach attention skills and calm reactivity. These practices are brief and concrete, such as short breathing or grounding exercises that can be used when stress rises. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help people commit to realistic goals and find their own reasons for change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rhonda will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and comfort level. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made or circumstances change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule, to follow up between sessions, or to use a style that feels most comfortable. The variety of options helps people keep momentum and practice new skills in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
