About Rhonda

Dr. Rhonda Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, trauma, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With 16 years of professional experience, she creates a supportive environment where clients can explore challenges, develop practical coping strategies, and pursue meaningful change in personal and professional areas of life. Her style blends evidence-based methods with a client-centered stance, inviting each person to reflect on values, build skills, and narrate their experiences in ways that foster healing.

Dr. Carter works with concerns that include family and parenting issues, mood disorders, identity and LGBT matters, career and financial stress, and complex life transitions.

She also addresses topics such as anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and communication or commitment problems. Clients can expect a therapist who values collaboration and growth, and who draws on cognitive and mindfulness-based techniques alongside motivational and narrative approaches to tailor treatment.

Dr. Carter accepts English-speaking clients in Virginia and offers a range of session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for stress, life transitions, and persistent anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle observation of thoughts and sensations to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be collaborative. The therapist will explore a client's goals, preferences, and daily life to determine which methods or combination of methods fit best, adjusting the plan as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own locations, fit therapy around work or family commitments, and continue care when in-person visits are impractical.
