About Rhonda
Rhonda Aragon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of practice. She works with adults to address stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and other life challenges. She focuses on creating a calm space where people can talk about hard things and find practical ways forward.
Rhonda blends somatic and client-centered approaches to help people connect their thoughts and bodily responses. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful.
Background and approach
Sessions often include grounding exercises, emotion regulation skills, and clear steps to manage symptoms between appointments. Her work often addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, communication problems, sleep disturbances, parenting strains, and career stress. She also supports people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, body image worries, and caregiving burdens.
The emphasis is on improving day-to-day coping and rebuilding a sense of control. Rhonda holds LCSW licensure in Texas and New Mexico. She draws on ten years of clinical experience to tailor strategies to each person's situation.
The tone in sessions is warm, direct, and practical, with attention to both feelings and behavior. Therapy can include talk, breath and movement awareness, and concrete skill practice. People leave with specific tools to use at home and clearer steps toward their goals.
How somatic and skills-based approaches work online
Rhonda uses somatic work to help people notice how stress shows up in the body. This can mean learning simple grounding and breathing techniques, tracking tension, and linking physical sensations to emotions. That work supports recovery from trauma, anxiety, and overwhelm.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a supportive space where the person’s agenda leads the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used for clear, practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions match their needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use skills between sessions. Remote work supports consistent contact, flexible timing, and continued practice of somatic and CBT techniques from home.
