01About Rhiannon
Rhiannon Cruz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and struggles with addiction. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical so parents can find clear steps forward. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at teaching emotional awareness and healthier coping skills.
She has about ten years of experience across outpatient programs, inpatient settings, and community-based care. That range means she has worked with people at different stages of recovery and transition.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on everyday problems like sleep disruption, stress at work, parenting strain, or difficult relationship patterns. Rhiannon uses a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs. She draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect, cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, and mindfulness to build calm focus.
Motivational interviewing and narrative techniques are added when people want clearer goals or to reframe painful stories about themselves. In practical terms she helps people learn to name and validate emotions, set small achievable goals, and try different coping tools between sessions. She aims to be a steady, listening presence while also offering concrete exercises to practice.
The tone in sessions is encouraging but honest. Rhiannon invites people to be curious, try new ways of responding, and stay engaged with the process of change. She emphasizes that progress often comes from small, consistent steps rather than dramatic fixes.

04Online support
How Rhiannon uses talk therapy online
Rhiannon combines client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered work means she listens closely and reflects what clients say so they feel heard and can better name emotions. Cognitive-behavioral work focuses on spotting the thoughts and habits that keep problems going and practicing small changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also draws on mindfulness approaches to help people develop calm attention and tolerate difficult feelings. Together, these methods let her tailor the plan to each person’s goals, whether that means reducing panic, improving sleep, or changing unhelpful behaviors. Figuring out which mix fits best is a collaborative process; she will work with the client to try approaches and adjust based on what helps.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Text-based messaging and live chat make it simpler to fit brief check-ins or homework review into a busy day. These options give flexibility so people can keep therapy going around work, parenting, and life demands.
