About Rhonda
Rhonda Duesterberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, life changes, and motivation struggles. She also supports people facing relationship tensions, family conflicts, grief, and trauma-related concerns.
Rhonda uses clear, practical conversation to help clients name what they are feeling and find ways to respond differently. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and interaction patterns, and she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to address thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and client-centered approaches also appear in her work when helpful.
Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems active now and on small, workable steps people can try between meetings. She encourages honest talk about feelings and relationship patterns so clients can test new ways of responding. The aim is to reduce distress and increase day-to-day coping skills.
Rhonda works with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, caregiver strain, blended family issues, aging and geriatric matters, isolation, and grief. She also addresses panic attacks, mood disorders, anger, and post-traumatic stress when people bring those issues into therapy.

How Rhonda integrates EFT, ACT and CBT online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify core emotions and the ways those emotions shape their responses and relationships. It is often used when strong feelings and repeated interaction patterns are hard to name. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them while committing to actions that fit personal values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and mood and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rhonda will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy unfolds.
