About Rhonda
FL LMHC Rhonda McEntire has 25 years of clinical experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and coaching. She is based in Florida and conducts therapy in English. Rhonda centers her work on practical support for everyday problems and deeper emotional struggles.
Rhonda uses client-centered methods to help people feel heard and to shape goals that matter to them. She pairs this with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness approaches are used when people need tools for emotion regulation and grounding.
Her practice also attends to longer-term and complex issues such as chronic pain, illness, and disability, dissociation, and family of origin problems. She works with concerns related to adoption and foster care, fatherhood issues, and gender dysphoria. Rhonda also offers coaching-style support for life changes and workplace challenges.
She integrates motivational interviewing when people face substance use or other addictive behaviors. That approach focuses on what motivates change and helps people set achievable steps. Sessions address practical coping skills, problem solving, and strategies to reduce shame and isolation.
Rhonda approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients set clear goals, track progress, and adjust methods as needed. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Rhonda uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on what matters most to each person. That approach means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it suits issues like anxiety, depression, and stress by offering clear tools and homework-style practice.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness strategies for people who need emotion regulation and distress-tolerance tools. DBT skills teach concrete ways to manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. Mindfulness exercises help people ground attention and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what helps. People and goals guide which techniques are emphasized, and methods can shift over time.
