Rhonda Lucineo, LPC

Rhonda Lucineo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. Her approach is direct and compassionate, with attention to the everyday pressures that make life harder.

Rhonda focuses on relationship and family challenges like divorce, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver stress. She also works with people facing addiction, postpartum depression, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions aim to clarify problems and identify small, workable changes that make a real difference day to day.

Her style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-based and client-centered ways of working. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns, understand how past relationships shape current reactions, and set goals that feel meaningful to them. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used to strengthen motivation and build concrete steps forward.

Rhonda brings practical skills and warmth to each session. She explains things plainly and helps people try new ways of handling conflict, anxiety, and triggers. Progress is measured by what improves in daily life, such as better sleep, calmer interactions, or clearer decision making.

Based in Connecticut, Rhonda conducts sessions in English and supports people through a range of life transitions. Her aim is to partner with clients so they leave therapy with clearer tools and more confidence in managing future challenges.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Rhonda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect present connections and reactions, which helps with attachment issues and relationship patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and letting the person set the pace and goals for their work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Rhonda treats it as a collaboration. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps in real life. Together they decide which techniques to use and how quickly to move from problem-solving to building new habits.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video calls are good for full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or easier ways to fit therapy into a busy day. These options let people keep consistent work while managing schedules and daily demands.
