About Rhonda
Rhonda Piazza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, career changes, and other life transitions.
Her starting point is simple: people are not broken. Choices and coping habits that once helped can later get in the way. She helps clients identify the values that matter to them and try new choices that move life in that direction.
Rhonda uses a mix of methods rather than one single approach. She draws on the client-centered ideas of Carl Rogers, and pairs that perspective with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques also appear when they fit a client's situation.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Expect clear talk about patterns of thinking and behavior, experiments to test different responses, and planning for small, concrete steps between meetings. For career questions she can use assessments such as the MBTI, Skill Scan, and Self-Directed Search.
Her style aims to help people create movement toward the goals they set. She concentrates on practical changes you can try and reviews what works. The focus is on new choices that align with personal values and on building manageable habits that support those choices.
How Rhonda uses CBT and related methods in online care
Rhonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try concrete alternatives. CBT sessions often include identifying thinking patterns, testing them with small experiments, and planning practical steps to change routines or reactions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which focus on listening closely and helping people clarify their own goals and values. Motivational Interviewing is employed when a person wants to change behaviors like substance use; it concentrates on exploring ambivalence and building internal motivation. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. Together they set goals and adjust techniques as progress is reviewed. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or evening routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and whether any clinical assessments, such as career tests, can be completed remotely.Areas of expertise
