Approaches and Online Support for Lasting Change
Ronda Russell integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, accepting relationship so individuals feel heard and can explore their goals at their own pace - it is helpful for improving self-esteem and relationship concerns. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses - it is effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with life challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and calming practices that support stress reduction and clearer decision-making.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Ronda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, inviting feedback and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect from different locations within the therapist's service area. These options help maintain continuity of care and make consistent work on goals more accessible for many people.
