Rhonda Padgett, LPC

Rhonda Padgett is a licensed professional counselor in Idaho with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship stress, trauma and grief. Her approach centers on recognizing strengths and learning practical coping skills to manage daily challenges.

Rhonda aims to offer steady support and an impartial perspective when life feels overwhelming. She guides clients through skills that can reduce distress and strengthen coping over time. Sessions focus on small, usable steps rather than big promises about outcomes.

Her work draws on client-centered therapy to keep the person’s priorities central, and on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Internal Family Systems ideas may be introduced to help people understand different parts of themselves.

Rhonda has supported people through issues such as abandonment concerns, attachment struggles, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and chronic pain, communication problems, and midlife crisis. She also addresses divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, and mood concerns.

Rhonda meets people where they are and helps them find practical tools that fit their life. She encourages small changes that build resilience and clearer decision making. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session through the Start Therapy button.

How Rhonda Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy keeps the client's priorities at the center of sessions. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and problem patterns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using CBT techniques in one phase and more client-centered listening or DBT skills in another, based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let someone choose sessions that work around caregiving, work breaks, or health limitations without promising a specific format.
