Rhonda Piazza

Rhonda Piazza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 23 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life changes. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping each person find workable steps forward.

Rhonda believes people are not broken and that choices grow from life experience. She helps clients identify values and try new choices that better match those values. Sessions focus on practical moves that create progress toward the goals a client sets.

Her approach is flexible rather than one fixed method. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy influenced by Carl Rogers, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She also uses mindfulness techniques and adapts tools to what each person needs.

For career concerns she can use assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Skill Scan, and the Self-Directed Search to help clarify interests and skills. Rhonda aims to support people in small, manageable steps that build momentum and confidence.

Rhonda frames therapy as a collaborative process. She prioritizes clear goals, changes that fit a person’s life, and steady progress rather than quick fixes. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through the first steps and supports them as they work toward their goals.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Rhonda often blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with people online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and helping a person find their own direction. It helps when someone needs acceptance and clear reflection to sort out feelings. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning, which can help with anxiety, mood problems, and anger.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Rhonda will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts techniques as progress is made so sessions fit what is actually helping the client move forward.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue work on trauma, addiction recovery, stress, and relationship concerns from wherever they are living, with the same focus on practical strategies and values-based goals.
