Hello! My name is Rhonda Pupella, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in central Texas. I have been providing therapy for over 15 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, caregiving and self-esteem issues. I am a firm believer that we are beings who want healing in all aspects of ourselves and our life, which can create tension between our current situation and the changes we want or need to make. Often, we don't know how to make lasting changes. That change struggle is often too difficult to face without strong support and the realization that someone understands, supports and affirms your ability to learn new coping skills. My counseling approach is educational, and we begin with where you are emotionally now. I value treating everyone with respect and kindness.
It takes courage to make changes, even positive ones. If you are ready to begin learning how, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working together!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
