About Rhonda
Rhonda Palmer, LCSW, brings eight years of clinical practice to her work in Missouri. She focuses on building a calm, real space where people can talk about what’s hard without being judged. Rhonda aims to help clients understand patterns that cause stress and anxiety and to support steady change over time.
She often helps people with relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Rhonda also works with concerns related to ADHD, addiction, and family or parenting stress.
Background and approach
She pays attention to attachment issues and how early relationships can shape current behavior. Rhonda uses a mix of approaches in sessions. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relational patterns and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds so sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Her style is direct but compassionate. Sessions aim to be practical - identifying small steps and ways to practice new skills between meetings.
She values honesty and curiosity, and she sets clear boundaries to keep the work focused and balanced. Rhonda helps people who are ready to try things differently and learn about their own strengths. She supports exploration of difficult feelings like guilt, shame, or abandonment and assists with practical coping tools.
People who want a mix of emotional insight and concrete strategies may find her approach helpful.

Online support
Attachment and Skill-Based Work Online
Rhonda uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. This approach helps people notice patterns in how they connect and respond to others, which can be useful for anxiety, codependency, and relationship challenges.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with clear, small exercises. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, impulsivity, and changing habits that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together so the work fits the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people share between sessions or get short, timely support without a full appointment. These options help therapy fit real life and different routines.
