Rhonda McEntire, LMHC

Rhonda McEntire is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. Her work aims to help clients build self-esteem and find practical ways to manage life changes.

Rhonda creates a supportive, affirming space where people can talk through painful feelings. She pays attention to each person's story and helps them set realistic steps toward better daily functioning. Sessions center on practical skills, clearer thinking, and discovering what matters most to the client.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, from mood challenges like bipolar symptoms to struggles with substance use and codependency. Rhonda also supports people facing chronic illness or pain, adoption and foster care questions, and impacts from divorce or family-of-origin problems. She includes work on themes such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, and fatherhood issues when relevant.

Rhonda uses several evidence-informed approaches in her sessions, including client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, motivational interviewing, mindfulness techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. These methods are used to build coping strategies, increase motivation for change, and reduce distressing thoughts and behaviors.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Rhonda uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in ways that fit online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people feel heard while they talk through issues and decisions. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rhonda will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation guides whether to focus more on skills practice, motivational work, or emotional processing.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use in-the-moment tools like mindfulness exercises or homework between meetings. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt their methods for remote sessions while helping clients move toward practical change and better daily functioning.
