Rhonda "Noelle" Grimes, LPC-MHSP

Rhonda "Noelle" Grimes is a licensed professional counselor with 28 years of experience. She offers calm, respectful care for people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping clients take practical steps forward.

Noelle combines several evidence-based methods to match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy informs her work by keeping sessions focused on the client's own goals and voice.

She has worked across many presenting concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, panic, and social anxiety. Additional areas she supports include communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, impulsivity, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are tailored so the plan fits what a person wants to achieve.

Noelle meets people where they are and moves at a pace that feels comfortable. She emphasizes simple, usable skills and clear conversation about goals. The work is collaborative and practical, not rushed.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session. Her practice is based in Tennessee and sessions are conducted in English.

How ACT and CBT inform online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice stressful thoughts and make choices that match their values instead of being driven by worry. It can be useful for persistent anxiety and for finding direction during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and then trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic and social fear. It often involves clear, short exercises to practice between sessions.

Noelle approaches therapy as a collaboration. She will work with each person to choose which approach or combination fits best. Together they set goals and try strategies that match the client's needs and preferences rather than assuming one method will fit everyone.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use time during a lunch break or between commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to an online setting so clients still practice skills between meetings.
