About Rhonda

Rhonda Rittenhouse is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people navigate relationship strains, grief, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, and changes in life circumstances.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical experience, she brings a thoughtful, layered perspective that looks beyond surface symptoms to identify contributing factors and practical next steps. Her practice in Florida addresses a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, sleep struggles, career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues related to aging, caregiving, chronic illness, fertility, and end-of-life care.

She favors evidence-informed methods and often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside solution-focused techniques to shape short-term goals and measurable progress. Rhonda emphasizes a collaborative working relationship, tailoring interventions to each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Clients can expect a warm, respectful tone and a step-by-step plan that is adjusted over time based on progress and changing needs. She welcomes the opportunity to work together to define goals and develop a practical path forward.

Online approaches that focus on skills and solutions

Rhonda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her online work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep and stress responses. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on defining concrete goals and building on existing strengths to produce small, actionable changes that add up over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rhonda treats it as a collaborative effort. She will work with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, preferences, and goals, and will adapt the plan as progress is reviewed so the work remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across busy lives and to practice strategies between meetings while staying connected with a licensed professional.
