About Rhoda
Rev. Rhoda Stuart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, and addiction-related problems.
She helps people talk through family matters and issues that trace back to the family they grew up in, including attachment and abandonment concerns. Sessions also address grieving, parenting pressures, bipolar and depressive symptoms, ADHD, and related co-morbidity. Practical problems like communication breakdowns and caregiver stress are included in her focus areas.
Her approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and build small, workable steps toward them. These methods are applied to everyday challenges such as workplace stress, relationship tension, and substance-related struggles.
Rhoda frames sessions as straightforward conversations about what is and isn’t working now. She draws on two decades of practice to offer concrete strategies for managing mood, improving communication, and handling life transitions. She also brings experience with issues linked to prejudice, veteran concerns, and end-of-life care.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and issues that involve repetitive negative thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and building on existing strengths. It is useful when someone wants focused, practical steps to change specific problems like communication patterns or coping with life transitions. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which method fits their goals and preferences, and she may combine elements of both CBT and Solution-Focused work as needed. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can meet during a break at work or between errands. Licensed professionals can use online work to keep continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while still focusing on practical tools and goal-setting.Areas of expertise
