    About Rhonda

    Rhonda Piazza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship strain, and big life changes. She also supports those facing trauma, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, and career uncertainty.

    Rhonda believes people are not broken. She says most choices made under pressure made sense at the time. Over time, though, those choices and coping habits can keep someone stuck. Her role is to help clients name what matters to them and find new choices that move them toward those values.

    Her style blends a few different approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy inspired by Carl Rogers, Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas are used when they fit the client's needs.

    Rhonda uses practical tools like career assessments when relevant, including the MBTI, SkillScan, and Self-Directed Search. She emphasizes collaboration - setting goals together and working step by step toward them. The work tends to focus on real decisions and small actions that add up.

    Taking the first step can feel hard, and Rhonda aims to support and empower people through that start. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

  2. How Rhonda’s Methods Work Online

    Rhonda uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. This approach focuses on listening, asking questions that explore ambivalence, and supporting small goals that match a person's values.

    She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on empathetic listening and helping clients lead the conversation about what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavior experiments that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rhonda will work together with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision helps shape session topics, pace, and tools used between sessions.

    Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, or allow a briefer check-in when life is hectic. Licensed professionals can tailor homework, mindfulness exercises, motivational conversations, and CBT skill practice to an online setting to keep progress focused on real-life changes.
