Rhonda PiazzaLPC

Rhonda Piazza, LPC, helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, postpartum depression, and other challenges that commonly arise around pregnancy and childbirth. She aims to support clients who feel stuck by helping them notice patterns that no longer serve them and find new ways forward. Her approach is practical and respectful, with a focus on what a person wants to change.

Rhonda has worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri for 23 years. She draws on several methods rather than one single model. That lets her pick tools that match each person’s needs rather than offering the same plan to everyone.

Her work is grounded in client-centered ideas influenced by Carl Rogers. That means she centers the client’s values and choices while offering guidance. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change.

Rhonda also brings trauma-focused approaches when a person has experienced physical or emotional trauma. She helps people understand how past harm affects present coping and then develop safer responses. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help manage stress and strong emotions.

She can support career questions and offers career assessments such as the MBTI, SkillScan, and the Self-Directed Search for people exploring work direction. Rhonda emphasizes collaboration: she and the client set goals together and try options to create real movement toward those goals.

How Rhonda’s Approaches Work Online

Rhonda blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change patterns that cause stress and anxiety. Client-centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and values, with the therapist offering empathy and support while the client leads the direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and introduces clear, practical exercises to try different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rhonda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together so the work stays relevant to real life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s schedule. Therapists can use client-centered listening alongside CBT exercises and motivational techniques in remote sessions, keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
