About Rhonda

Rhonda Kegerreis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help families and parents manage stress, grief, and parenting challenges. She draws on 11 years of clinical experience and a background in school counseling and teaching to keep sessions straightforward and focused. Parents will find a clear, down-to-earth approach that looks for small, useful changes.

Rhonda often begins by listening and understanding what feels most urgent.

Background and approach

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each family's priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns that get in the way. Mindfulness-based tools and Solution-Focused techniques are used to build simple skills parents can practice at home. Her experience working with school-aged children 10 and older and adolescents informs how she explains concepts to young people and parents alike.

She also brings practical knowledge about grief, loss, communication problems, divorce and separation, and challenges tied to military life. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Parents and caregivers can expect clear suggestions, simple homework, and a focus on steady progress.

Rhonda aims to make therapy feel doable even when family life already feels overwhelming. Rhonda practices in Texas and offers sessions in English. She uses approaches that help with anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and parenting needs.

Using practical therapy approaches online for family needs

Rhonda commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide families. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the family's priorities, helping parents feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple breathing and attention skills. These tools help when anxiety, anger, or stress make it hard to think clearly. Together, these approaches give parents both understanding and real techniques to try between sessions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each family to choose approaches that fit the child's age, the parent's goals, and day-to-day life. Goals are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made so the plan stays useful.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. This flexibility helps families schedule around school, work, and caregiving. Remote formats also make it easier to get regular support and to practice skills between meetings without long travel time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
