Rhonda Rittenhouse

Rhonda Rittenhouse is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of experience. She helps people facing anger, relationship strain, grief, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Her manner is warm and direct, and she focuses on clear steps clients can follow to feel better.

She prefers a holistic view that looks beyond the first problem a person mentions. Rhonda listens for the different layers that contribute to anger, sleep trouble, caregiving stress, or low self-esteem. Together with each client she chooses practical strategies that match the situation rather than applying one standard method.

Her work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to create short-term goals and hands-on tools. She mixes thinking-and-behavior approaches to change patterns that keep problems stuck, and she uses solution-focused techniques to build on what already works.

Rhonda has experience with end-of-life concerns, caregiving stress, blended family challenges, chronic illness, fertility and pregnancy-related issues, and veteran and armed forces matters. She also supports people navigating career questions, ADHD, and the emotional strain of aging or caregiving.

She asks clients to set clear goals and tracks progress with simple steps you can see. The focus is practical - small changes that make daily life easier and reduce angry reactions over time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Rhonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy in straightforward, practical ways. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. It gives concrete exercises you can try between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and quick steps that move a situation forward, helping clients set small, achievable goals and notice progress.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Rhonda works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and daily life. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan so sessions stay useful and focused on next steps.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins between major sessions. It also lets people practice techniques in the same settings where problems occur, which can speed up learning and change.
