About Rhonda

Rhonda Piazza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 23 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, career challenges, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and anger. She also addresses issues like self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Rhonda believes people are not broken. She starts from the idea that past experiences shape current coping, and those patterns can be changed. Sessions focus on identifying the client’s goals and testing new choices that better match personal values.

Her style draws on client-centered ideas from Carl Rogers, with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. Mindfulness is used alongside these methods to help with emotional regulation and awareness. She does not rely on a single model and selects tools that fit each person.

For career questions Rhonda can provide assessments such as the MBTI, SkillScan, and the Self-Directed Search. She combines assessment results with conversation to clarify next steps and realistic goals. Work in sessions often moves between practical problem-solving and deeper attention to emotional patterns.

Rhonda emphasizes collaboration. People set their own goals and she helps them try new actions that align with those goals. That approach is used across concerns from addiction and trauma to everyday stress and anger management.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Rhonda uses client-centered principles and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on the client’s goals and values, with the therapist helping to reflect, clarify, and support choices. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Motivational Interviewing is also part of her toolkit. It helps people resolve mixed feelings about change by exploring personal reasons for change and building momentum one step at a time. These approaches are useful for anger, addictions, stress, and mood concerns because they combine practical skills with attention to motivation.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying CBT exercises in one session and a motivational conversation the next, adjusting based on what helps progress.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid commuting on a workday. Discuss preferences at the first meeting so sessions are arranged to match your schedule and needs.
