About Rhonda
Rhonda Rittenhouse is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people with relationship strains, parenting stress, grief, anxiety, depression, and other life changes. Her work also covers issues like anger, sleep problems, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Rhonda uses straightforward, goal-focused methods. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused ideas to identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Sessions typically look at what is working, what is not, and small changes to try between meetings.
Her practice includes attention to end-of-life and caregiver concerns, chronic illness and pain, blended family dynamics, fertility and pregnancy topics, and veteran-related issues. She notes that many problems have several layers, so she looks beyond the immediate complaint to related stressors and practical barriers.
Rhonda prefers to match a method to each person rather than use the same approach for everyone. She outlines steps and short-term goals so progress can be measured and adjusted. This helps keep sessions concrete and action-oriented.
Clients can expect a collaborative process in which problems are broken into manageable pieces. Rhonda creates a plan with clear steps and reviews progress regularly. She supports people who want structured work on thinking patterns, behavior changes, and practical coping skills.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rhonda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT involves noticing patterns of thought and behavior, testing small experiments, and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on specific goals and small, practical steps that can be tried right away to improve relationships or daily routines.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try an approach, and adjust as the work progresses. The aim is to pick methods that fit the person's needs and the problems they want to address.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule check-ins, fit brief sessions into a busy day, and practice new skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use structured worksheets, behavioral experiments, and short goal-focused sessions that translate well to remote formats, and Rhonda will discuss which setup best fits the client's routine and preferences.
