About Rhoda
Rev. Rhoda Stuart is a licensed professional counselor with 21 years of clinical experience in Missouri. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, and life transitions.
She speaks plainly and treats clients with respect and compassion. She uses practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and experiment with new responses. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with tools and small steps to practice between meetings.
Background and approach
The aim is to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Her background includes long-term work in community and clinical settings, supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, trauma, and depression. She also addresses specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, and problems related to substance use.
This range gives her experience with both short-term goals and longer recovery paths. Rhoda adapts the plan to each person's needs and pace. She listens for what matters most, then helps set clear, realistic next steps.
Many clients use the sessions to build confidence, reduce reactivity, and improve day-to-day functioning. Getting started involves a brief matching process and scheduling. Sessions are offered in English and are available through a mix of video, phone, live chat, and messaging formats.
She encourages people who are ready to take a step toward change to begin the intake process.

Approaches Rhoda lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Online approaches that focus on change and practical skills
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try different responses. It is commonly used for anger, anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches concrete skills to interrupt patterns and practice new routines. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on what is working and builds on strengths. It helps set clear, short-term goals and identify small steps that lead toward immediate change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will tailor the style and pace, trying strategies and adjusting as progress is made to find the best fit.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, want quick check-ins, or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on goals between sessions.
