Rhiannon Cruz

Rhiannon Cruz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who helps people manage anger and related challenges. She writes in a direct, practical way and focuses on helping clients notice and name emotions. Sessions aim to teach skills for identifying feelings and responding differently when stress or anger arise.

She brings ten years of experience from outpatient, inpatient, and community settings. That background includes one-on-one work with people who have struggled with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger issues, and addiction. She uses that experience to shape simple strategies rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

Rhiannon draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy along with mindfulness and motivational techniques. She will work to help a person see the stories they tell about themselves and how those stories affect behavior. Practical steps and short experiments are part of sessions, not just talk.

The goal in therapy is to build skills that make everyday life easier. That may include ways to calm down in the moment, notice thought patterns that fuel anger, and change small habits that add up over time. She encourages steady effort and openness to try new responses.

Rhiannon asks for a commitment to the process and offers a listening, nonjudgmental presence. People who want clear, down-to-earth tools for managing stress, anger, or trauma often find this approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Rhiannon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active and then trying small, practical changes to shift them. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and gives space for the person to guide what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean blending CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and motivational conversation to build momentum together.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It also lets people try practical exercises between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to remote work while focusing on what the client wants to change.
