About Rhonda
Rhonda Piazza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 23 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the fallout from trauma or abuse. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, focused on helping people move toward the goals they set for themselves.
Rhonda believes people are not broken. She says most coping choices made over time were useful at one point but can later limit growth.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps clients identify new choices that line up with their values and goals. Work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Her work draws on person-centered ideas from Carl Rogers, with strong use of cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing.
She also uses trauma-focused methods and mindfulness practices when they fit the situation. Rhonda does not rely on a single theory and adapts tools to the person in front of her. Rhonda has helped people address career transitions and can use career assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Skill Scan, and the Self-Directed Search.
She also supports those facing first responder stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, postpartum mood issues, and process or substance addictions. Sessions aim to create small, steady movement toward meaningful change. Rhonda frames therapy as practical problem solving and values-based decision making.
She invites people to take a first step when they are ready.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgment and following the client's lead. In practice this means the therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps the client make choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior; it uses practical tools to test and change unhelpful thinking and build different habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process can include mixing person-centered listening with CBT techniques or motivational interviewing to build motivation for change.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules permit. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit during a break from work. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or an alternative when typing feels easier. These options are meant to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
