About Rhonda
Rhonda Lucineo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Her work often addresses trauma, addiction concerns, and the emotional impact of life transitions like divorce and postpartum changes.
Rhonda centers sessions on understanding each person’s history and current needs. She draws on Attachment-Based approaches and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and practice different ways of responding. Client-Centered ideas guide her to listen closely and shape therapy around the person in front of her.
Her background includes work with a range of family-related challenges, including blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and issues tied to adoption and foster care. She aims to make space for difficult memories and for practical problem solving when relationships are strained.
Rhonda describes therapy as a collaborative process. She uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods when people want clear, goal-oriented steps and help staying motivated through change. Sessions combine emotional processing with concrete strategies to handle day-to-day demands.
Based in Connecticut, Rhonda emphasizes steady progress and realistic goals. She supports people working through attachment wounds, grief from separation or abandonment, and the effects of past abuse. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on small, achievable changes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds shape current reactions. It is useful for attachment struggles, abandonment concerns, and rebuilding trust in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through small experiments. It often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and managing daily stressors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and creating a collaborative, respectful space where the client leads the pace and focus of work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rhonda will help clients decide which methods match their goals and needs. She combines approaches when that best supports the person, and checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on progress and preference.
If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit situations where in-person visits are harder to arrange. Ask during the matching process which specific session options are currently supported.
