About Rhiannon
Rhiannon Cruz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life stressors. She works with adults dealing with things like anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and anger. Her style aims to be direct and supportive while helping clients find useful ways to cope.
She draws on a mix of practical approaches, including cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness, to help people notice patterns and try small changes.
Background and approach
Rhiannon also uses narrative and motivational styles to help clients tell their stories and find reasons to keep going. Sessions often include skills practice, goal setting, and conversations about values. Rhiannon’s experience spans outpatient and inpatient treatment and community-based settings.
She has provided one-on-one counseling across those environments for about 10 years. That background informs how she structures sessions and what she offers when someone is feeling overwhelmed or stuck. In the room she focuses on helping people identify and name emotions, and on building skills to respond differently to triggers.
She describes the work as a partnership where honesty and small experiments matter more than perfection. Rhiannon encourages clients to try new ways of reacting and to notice what changes. People who choose her often want practical tools for everyday life.
She helps with sleep problems, relationship stress, parenting strain, work pressure, and the hard feelings that come after loss or trauma. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at steady progress.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making space for a person’s experiences. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects what a client says, validates feelings, and helps set goals that feel right for the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers simple exercises to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep issues when practiced between sessions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Rhiannon collaborates with clients to pick approaches that match goals, values, and day-to-day needs. She encourages trying techniques and checking in often to see what helps and what needs adjustment.
Online formats let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstration of skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to practice new skills where and when they are needed.
