About Rhonda
Rhonda Palmer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of clinical experience. She builds a calm, honest space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, and the strain of parenting. Her approach welcomes straightforward conversation and practical steps rather than quick fixes.
Rhonda focuses on helping people understand how past wounds shape present choices. She supports those dealing with self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, and addiction-related challenges.
Background and approach
She also works with adults navigating ADHD and neurodivergent experiences, and with concerns that stem from family of origin and attachment issues. Sessions are collaborative and direct. She listens for patterns and helps clients tell a clearer story about themselves.
That can mean naming recurring relationship dynamics, building skills to manage impulses, or practicing new ways to communicate. Rhonda draws from Narrative, Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Emotionally-Focused approaches to shape the work. She aims to match methods to the person in front of her, not force a single technique.
Expect a mix of gentle challenge, practical skills, and reflection. Rhonda practices in Missouri and holds an LCSW credential. She offers several online formats so people can fit sessions into busy lives.
If someone wants therapy that combines warmth with straightforward help, Rhonda is a good match.

Online session options
How narrative and attachment work online
Rhonda uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how life events and relationships shape identity and helps people rewrite unhelpful narratives into stories that fit their goals.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. That work can help people notice triggers, shift expectations, and practice different ways of connecting with others.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Rhonda will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts the work over time based on what helps most in real sessions.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule care around work, school, or caregiving commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus intact.
