Overcoming life’s challenges can be difficult without the right tools. I provide those tools, along with empathy, active listening, and thoughtful reflection. In addition to my social work education, my professional experience and personal insights enhance the awareness, intuition, and expertise I bring to support my clients.
I understand how addiction can take control and the strength required to overcome it and maintain sobriety. I have extensive experience working with clients facing challenges such as drug and alcohol addiction, coping with the fear of death, grieving the loss of loved ones, healing from sexual abuse, navigating domestic violence, managing anger, and resolving relationship issues.
Some of my other specialties include improving low self-esteem, managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and Loss, coping with divorce, and infidelity, and the power of forgiveness.
Most clients report feeling relieved after the first two sessions and keep using and applying the tools provided.
I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT, Strength perspective, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative therapy, alongside mindfulness practices. Additionally, I am trained in Eye movement desensitization Reprocessing, (EMDR). My goal is to support you in developing effective strategies to manage and overcome your challenges.
I have six years of experience working with Child Protective Services in New Mexico. I also spent two years at Springer Women’s Correctional Facility, where I provided individual therapy and facilitated a residential drug and alcohol group therapy program. Additionally, I served as a Clinical Supervisor/Director at Krossroads Integrative Health Services in New Mexico for two years, delivering both individual therapy and intensive outpatient services to individuals struggling with addiction.
I hold a BA in psychology & social & criminal justice, and a MA in social work. I also have valuable life experiences that enrich my knowledge and skills. I use this expertise to support you in your journey to recovery.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Rhonda has helped me discover my inner strengths and I have made so much progress in my mental health because of all of her help!
Rhonda is a great therapist. Highly attuned and professional
I am very thankful for my therapist and this website.
Rhonda Aragon has truly been a beacon of Light. She has helped me get on track with the life and values I want to live, even when I thought I knew how to do that without therapy! (I didn't.) Throughout the week, I think about all of her snippets of wisdom and emotional tools that she has taught me, and it causes me to hold myself accountable, thus steering me to live a more authentic version of myself. Rhonda reinforces that every week and I am eternally grateful. I am growing!
Rhonda was very adept at identifying what I needed to work on and then setting up up to accomplish that together
Wonderful advice and plan for relief. And management. Really have hope with her therapy
Rhonda is amazing and I appreciate her so very much
Relieved to get my mental health addressed and move forward.
Rhonda has been very helpful. I appreciate our chats and all of our advice!
Such a deeply empathetic person! I really appreciate her calming presence. She makes me feel heard and understood.
After years of searching, I have finally found a perfect fit with a therapist. She is so very kind, engaged, and is an extraordinary listener. Not only that, she gives me actual tools to apply to my life that are extremely helpful. I am so thankful for this therapist!
Rhonda is a very good listener and is very knowledgeable and supportive. She's is prompt with replies to my messages and is proactive in recommending helpful material and exercises.
Love her .. she is a great listener .. I need that ..
I am beyond grateful for the support and guidance Rhonda has offered me.
Rhonda was very understanding and helpful, i felt like she listened to all of my concerns and really analyzed them with me.
Rhonda is amazing. I look forward to all of our sessions. Looking for ways to retrain your brain, grow in awareness and knowing your own magic - Rhonda will teach you. She is a great listener, coach and cheerleader in one.
I am so thankful that BetterHelp paired me with Rhonda. I've looked for therapist before locally and got stuck in the decision making process. By answering my intake form honestly, BetterHelp found the perfect match. Rhonda is an active listener. She listens to understand and guides me with tools or affirmations that will help me when I face the challenges again. I look forward to our sessions each week and time flies by!
What a wonderful person!!!!
Thank you Rhonda you are the best.
Rhonda is a great Christian counselor. She listens carefully to what you say and helps gather your thoughts together with you. She's very understanding and provides support even after the counseling session is over. Every now and then she would check in to see how you are doing in between sessions. Her ability to help support you through your journey of recovery is undeniable. She has even given me a verse in the Bible for encouragement!
