About Ronna

Ronna Huckaby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people facing relationship and family challenges. She speaks directly and calmly, aiming to make therapy practical and understandable. Her style centers on building a respectful working relationship and helping clients find clear next steps they can use at home.

She draws on about 25 years of experience in counseling and coaching. Over that time she has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, anger, and parenting concerns.

Background and approach

She has also worked with issues such as adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, communication problems, and the effects of domestic violence. Ronna uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She often relies on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns.

She also uses client-centered listening, motivational interviewing, solution-focused methods, and parts work from Internal Family Systems when helpful. Her background includes training and presenting workshops at state and national levels. She has experience as a board-approved supervisor and as an executive coach in addition to clinical practice.

This range informs practical strategies she offers clients. In sessions she works together with people to set goals and try doable changes between meetings. Her approach emphasizes listening first, then helping clients test out different ways of handling problems until they find what fits their life.

How Ronna’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead and reflects what matters most, which can help people feel heard and clearer about their goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks big problems into small steps and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses respectful conversation to boost motivation and clarify personal reasons for moving forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and shifting course when needed.

Online therapy lets these approaches happen without needing to travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone, live chat, and text messaging offer shorter or more flexible ways to connect. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep progress moving between meetings.

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.

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.
