About Rhonda

Rhonda Aragon is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people navigate a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

Based in Texas and credentialed as NM LCSW C-12107 and TX LCSW 110399, she brings a compassionate, person-centered orientation to work that often combines talk-based and skills-focused methods. Rhonda draws on approaches such as Internal Family Systems, CBT, DBT, and emotionally focused techniques to tailor care to each client’s needs.

Her practice addresses concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, body image or self-esteem struggles, caregiving stress, and other complex presentations like attachment or commitment issues.

Rhonda aims to help clients explore emotional patterns, process past experiences, and build practical coping skills that fit day-to-day life. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and a focus on developing resilience and clearer communication.

Sessions incorporate strategies chosen to match individual goals, with the intent of helping people find more balance and agency as they move through change.

Integrative approaches for online healing and growth

Rhonda uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice and relate to different parts of themselves; this approach invites curiosity about internal experience and can be useful for trauma recovery, self-criticism, and complex emotional patterns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where clients' values and goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool in her practice and focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building concrete skills to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is collaborative and may evolve over time. Rhonda will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then select or combine methods that best support progress. The process emphasizes mutual planning so clients feel ownership of the direction and pace of therapy.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats make it possible to access consistent support without travel, and they allow the therapist and client to choose the communication style that fits the client’s comfort and daily routine.
