About Rhonda
Rhonda Rittenhouse is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She brings 13 years of experience and a down-to-earth style to sessions.
Background and approach
Rhonda aims to make therapy practical and understandable for worried parents and adults who need steady support. Rhonda listens for the different layers under a problem and tailors the work to each person.
She uses straightforward strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and identify small workable steps. Sessions often focus on clear goals and measurable progress.
Her approach blends goal-oriented techniques with attention to emotions and life context. She helps clients map a plan with specific steps so they can see movement week to week.
That plan might address sleep problems, anger, career stress, caregiver fatigue, or coping with chronic illness. Rhonda has substantial experience with end-of-life and hospice topics, fertility and pregnancy concerns, and issues that affect aging adults and caregivers.
She also works with people navigating blended families and veteran-related matters. Her work emphasizes practical tools alongside emotional support.
Clients can expect a respectful, warm relationship that values each person’s story. Rhonda partners with clients to track progress and adjust strategies as needed.
She encourages honest conversation and steady, realistic change.
Practical approaches for online therapy
Rhonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or anger. CBT breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift each part. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on small, realistic steps clients can take right away to move toward their goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rhonda will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and then adjust the plan based on real progress and client feedback.
Online sessions come in several convenient formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full discussion and visual connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be good for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports on-the-go reflection and quick updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, work breaks, or caregiving routines.
