Rhonda Rittenhouse, LMFT

Rhonda Rittenhouse is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday problems like anxiety, depression, stress, anger, grief, parenting strain, sleep trouble, and career questions. Rhonda writes in plain language and aims to make therapy feel understandable and useful from the first session.

She prefers short-term, goal-focused work and often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her approach when clients want clear, step-by-step plans. Rhonda matches the method to the person rather than forcing a single model on everyone.

Rhonda has worked with a wide range of situations, including end-of-life concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, blended family challenges, fertility and pregnancy issues, and veteran-related matters. She treats each situation as layered and looks for the root causes behind surface problems. This helps her set realistic, visible steps toward change.

In sessions she aims to build a respectful, warm working relationship and lays out a simple plan with measurable steps. Clients can expect practical homework, clear goals, and routine check-ins to see progress. Rhonda practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.

She will collaborate with clients to choose strategies that fit their lives and needs. That collaboration includes adjusting plans as progress is made or new problems arise.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Rhonda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by teaching concrete skills and small behavior changes.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on current strengths and clear, short-term goals. That method is helpful when clients want a straightforward plan and fast steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rhonda will discuss options with each person and pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. She adapts plans as progress is made and checks in regularly to make sure the chosen path is working.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video helps keep visual connection and fuller conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health needs.
