Rhonda Piazza, LPC

Therapeutic approaches via online care

Rhonda uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people set their own goals and guide the pace of work. This approach helps when someone needs a place to sort values, feelings, and priorities before deciding on next steps.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and many everyday patterns that lead to stress. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help people find their own reasons to change, often helpful with addictions, ambivalence around choices, and making sustained shifts in behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rhonda will talk through options and try methods that fit each person's goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may shift over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls let therapists and clients use visual cues for richer conversation. Phone sessions can be a quick check-in or work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, processing between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while using the approaches above to address stress, trauma, addiction, career questions, and mood concerns.
