Hello. I have practiced in the healing arts for the past 14 years helping people develop a clearer mind/body connection. I embarked on a career in counseling 6 years ago to help people strengthen their connection with themselves. I view the counseling process as an alliance between client and therapist and considers the client as the experts of their lives. Within the structure of the therapeutic relationship, clients can access their inner strengths and promote change. My theoretic approach is based on the belief that clients oversee their counseling experience. They will learn the aspects of their life that they can control and what they cannot. Clients will understand that the therapeutic relationship is a partnership in which they will be expected to put in the effort for homework, be accountable, and present within counseling alliance. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe environment where we can explore your primary interests, develop goals, and determines strengths and assets as you move toward your aspirations.
I earned a M. Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Clemson University, in Clemson, SC. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Psycho-Educational Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. My areas of specialized training and expertise include anxiety, depression, adjustment in the wake of divorce, survivors of trauma, and people in recovery from alcohol and drugs. I have formal training in co-occurring substance abuse disorders.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rhonda Johnson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Rhonda has helped me enormously with varying struggles I have experienced from a very young age. She helped me delve into past traumas in a safe space which felt gentle and eye opening at the same time. I don't know where I'd be now without her expertise and guidance. Rhonda was always very patient with me and came from a non judgemental place which was what I needed.
I would recommend Rhonda to anybody looking for a wonderful, skilled therapist.
Thank you Rhonda!

Rhonda was wonderful! I loved working with her. She helped me through a lot of hard times and also was there to just talk if I needed. She told it like it was and helped me work though my anxious and depressed thought. I am grateful to have worked with her.

Rhonda was really great to work with. She helped me with many internal struggles and negative self talk I was having to myself. She gave new prospectives and ways of looking at a situation. I appreciate all of her help!

I came to BetterHelp after a year full of traumatic events beyond my control. I was spiraling into panic and depression. I've worked with several therapists in my lifetime, but Rhonda is the absolute best one I've ever found. She doesn't buy into my BS, while simultaneously being incredibly affirming and supportive. I now have the tools I need to keep my head on straight and to stay in the present moment. I cannot recommend Rhonda Johnson more highly!
