She practices in Idaho and Oregon and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns.

She keeps sessions warm and interactive. Conversations are paced to match the person’s needs, with direct feedback and room to reflect.
Background and approach
Rona listens for patterns that keep people stuck and then tests small changes that feel doable. Her approach draws on cognitive methods that look at thoughts and behaviors, and on narrative ideas that help people rewrite how they tell their story. She also uses psychodynamic views to track longstanding patterns that repeat in relationships.
Treatment plans are tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. Rona aims to help people set clear, realistic goals and measure progress along the way. Sessions may include skill-building, reviewing reactions, and practicing new responses.
The focus is on tools people can use in everyday life. She works with adults who want help addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-worth, or relationship strain. Rona offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy
Rona uses a few main evidence-based approaches in her work. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression. These methods teach concrete skills for managing symptoms and trying new responses in daily life.Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. This approach helps people spot longstanding habits and understand why they happen, so they can make different choices moving forward.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust the plan as progress becomes clear and priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact and work through material much like an in-person session. Phone sessions are useful when a lower-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions or fit brief check-ins around work and family demands. These options let people use therapy in ways that match their routines and comfort.
