Rhonda McEntire

Rhonda McEntire is a Florida LMHC with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and questions about life purpose. Her practice also addresses bipolar symptoms and offers coaching for people rethinking work or major life choices.

Rhonda uses straightforward methods in sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices appear when emotional regulation and grounding are needed.

Her work includes practical help for people facing adoption or foster care concerns, chronic pain or illness, and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with codependency, control issues, dissociation, divorce, and separation. Drug and alcohol addiction, domestic violence histories, and struggles with guilt or shame are within her focus areas as well.

Rhonda is experienced supporting people with gender dysphoria and fatherhood questions, and she lists forgiveness, emptiness, and family problems among topics she addresses. Sessions include motivational interviewing elements when clients want change but feel ambivalent.

She meets people in clear, goal-oriented ways. Expect talk that names problems, practical skill building, and steps you can try between sessions. To start, clients are asked about goals and current obstacles so sessions can focus on what matters next.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach give space for people to talk through values, life purpose questions, and what they want next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets thoughts and behaviors with clear, practical exercises. In an online format these might include thought records, behavior experiments, and agreed homework to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking what helps early on and adjusting methods if something is not working or feels off.

The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose video or audio options based on bandwidth, comfort with being on camera, or the type of session they prefer.
