Rhonda Rittenhouse

Rhonda Rittenhouse is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strains, grief, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of coping with life changes. Rhonda aims to make therapy practical and clear for worried parents and others looking for steady support.

Rhonda uses a layered approach to understand what lies beneath a presenting problem. She looks beyond the first concern to identify related stressors, behaviors, and patterns. Sessions focus on concrete steps and small changes that add up over time rather than vague promises.

Her preferred approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and practical behavior techniques. She blends solution-focused thinking to set short-term goals and track progress. The work centers on building useful routines, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and testing new ways of responding to stress.

Rhonda values a respectful working relationship and aims to be warm and direct. She explains options and helps people choose which strategies fit their life. Together they map out a plan with clear steps to check progress along the way.

Rhonda practices in Florida and speaks English. She has experience with end-of-life concerns, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, fertility and pregnancy-related topics, veteran issues, blended family challenges, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life purpose questions. She invites people to explore changes and move toward goals at a manageable pace.

How her approaches translate to online work

Rhonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and focus on practical steps that can change daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily life, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then they will try strategies and adjust them based on the client’s feedback so the plan fits the person’s needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, let people check in from different places, or use shorter meetings for quick progress reviews. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, how to structure sessions for goal tracking, and which techniques to prioritize for your concerns.
