About Rhonda
Rhonda Hunt is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and the aftereffects of past trauma. She also helps people dealing with grief, addictions, parenting strain, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.
Rhonda uses straightforward conversation and practical tools in sessions. She listens for patterns that trace back to early family roles and expectations, and she helps clients notice how those patterns affect current choices. Work in therapy often includes practicing clearer communication, rebuilding self-esteem, and addressing shame or guilt linked to family of origin issues.
Her approach draws on client-centered work to follow the client’s priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and EMDR when people bring distressing memories that continue to feel overwhelming. Mindfulness practices and Imago-based relationship ideas are also used to improve emotional regulation and connection in relationships.
Sessions focus on concrete steps as well as understanding. Clients can expect skill-building around coping strategies, tools for panic or anxiety management, and conversations about boundaries and fatherhood or parenting roles when relevant. Rhonda also addresses money worries, career stress, and compassion fatigue as everyday sources of strain.

How Rhonda’s approaches translate to online work
Rhonda commonly uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on what the client feels is most important. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping clients identify personal goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used for practical skills work such as managing anxiety, changing unhelpful thinking, and developing behavioral experiments that reduce panic and mood symptoms.She also integrates EMDR for clients who bring distressing memories that continue to cause intense reactions. EMDR is a structured method that can help reduce the emotional charge of specific memories when that is a client’s goal. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these methods to improve emotional regulation and present-moment noticing.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, and then agree on techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
The site notes how to begin but does not list specific session formats for this clinician. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what fits your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people continue therapy when life changes would otherwise disrupt in-person visits.
