Rhonda "Noelle" Grimes

Rhonda "Noelle" Grimes is a Tennessee licensed professional counselor, LPC-MHSP, with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She also helps people dealing with loneliness, communication problems, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

Noelle uses approaches that focus on practical steps and honest conversation. She leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small actions. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to address next.

In sessions she listens and reflects, then helps identify patterns that keep problems stuck. Together the therapist and client examine thoughts, test behaviors, and build simple tools for daily life. This can include practicing responses to panic, managing impulsivity, or addressing social anxiety in realistic ways.

Noelle’s long experience means she has worked with a wide range of concerns and life transitions. She aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking problems into manageable steps. She also supports people who are questioning career direction, purpose, or next life choices.

To start she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that reflect personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and questions about life purpose.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist listens deeply and reflects what the client says. This approach supports people who need to clarify goals or rebuild confidence through steady dialogue.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts, reduce panic or avoidance, and change patterns that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adjusting techniques and pacing based on what helps most in early sessions.

The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also allows therapists and clients to use worksheets, in-session exercises, and behavioral planning that translate well to remote meetings.
