About Rhonda
Rhonda Rittenhouse is a Florida Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of experience. She helps adults with relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and blended family issues. Sessions focus on clear steps and practical problem-solving rather than labels or lengthy explanations.
She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Solution-Focused techniques to address the immediate problem and the thoughts that keep it going. That means working on small, achievable changes and testing what helps in everyday life. Rhonda pays attention to overlapping issues, such as sleep problems, chronic pain, or caregiver stress, that can complicate a single concern.
Her background includes work with individuals and programs related to family education and end-of-life care. That experience informs how she talks about grief, hospice and caregiver strain in plain terms. She avoids one-size-fits-all plans and instead proposes clear steps that clients can try between sessions.
In sessions she will help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and set short-term goals. Homework may include simple behavior experiments or practical communication moves to try at home. Progress is reviewed regularly so the plan can be adjusted.
Rhonda provides counseling for people facing life transitions, fertility and pregnancy concerns, veteran-related issues, aging and geriatric matters, and compassion fatigue. She offers services in English and works from her Florida practice.
How her approaches translate to online care
Rhonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to test small behavior changes. CBT focuses on practical steps anyone can try between appointments and is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress.She also applies Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term goals and track progress. That approach concentrates on what works now and builds brief, manageable actions to move forward, which can be helpful for blended family adjustments and parenting concerns.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit those needs. If something does not help, the plan is adjusted so sessions remain focused and useful.
The specifics of how online sessions are arranged are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to practice communication or coping steps in context and report back on what changed.
