Rhonda Lucineo, LPC - Therapist in Connecticut

About Rhonda

Rhonda Lucineo is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people find steadiness during stressful family moments. She uses clear, practical methods to help with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction concerns, and relationship strains. Rhonda speaks plainly and works to make therapy understandable for worried parents and caregivers.

She brings 13 years of clinical experience and centers much of her work on family and parenting issues. That includes blended family stress, adoption and foster care dynamics, divorce and separation, and caregiver-related strain.

Background and approach

She also addresses attachment issues, postpartum mood concerns, and reactions to domestic violence. Rhonda draws from several proven approaches. She leans on attachment-based work to look at close relationships, client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities, and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns and try different behaviors.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used when clients want clear goals and steady steps forward. Sessions are designed to be practical and collaborative. Rhonda helps people name what’s most urgent, set manageable goals, and practice small changes between meetings.

Her style aims to reduce overwhelm and build skills that make day-to-day family life easier. She is licensed in Connecticut as an LPC and offers services in English. Rhonda presents herself as a steady guide for parents and family members working through difficult transitions and emotional challenges.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Rhonda commonly uses attachment-based and cognitive behavioral approaches when working with family-related concerns. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect trust and closeness, and it can help address separation, abandonment, and bonding challenges. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress.

She blends these approaches with client-centered listening so the therapy plan fits each family’s needs. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - the therapist and client look at goals, try methods, and adjust what’s not working. That way therapy stays practical and aligned with what matters most to the family.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, continue work between appointments, and stay consistent during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these tools to support steady progress while accommodating different communication preferences and time constraints.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
