Rhonda Palmer, LCSW

Approaches that guide online therapy

Rhonda uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name core emotions and to change patterns that get in the way of close connections. This approach is useful for people who want to understand how emotions drive their relationship and attachment responses.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which focuses on how early bonds and current attachment patterns shape reactions to stress and closeness. That work can help people notice repeated patterns and try new ways of relating to others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rhonda will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor sessions to fit those needs. She combines approaches as needed rather than using a single fixed method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expressions and work more directly with emotions, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are options for quick updates, between-session support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
