Rhonda Piazza

Rhonda Piazza is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Missouri with 23 years of clinical experience. Over the course of her career she has worked with people facing addiction and substance use concerns, depression, anxiety and stress, relationship and intimacy difficulties, career challenges, grief, trauma and emotional or physical abuse, and a range of other life transitions and mental health conditions.

She approaches therapy from the belief that people are not “broken”; instead, individuals make the best choices available to them given their history and current circumstances. Over time, those choices and the coping strategies that develop can limit growth and keep a person from moving toward their goals.

Rhonda’s role is to help clients clarify the goals they set for themselves and to identify alternative choices that align with their values. Working together, she supports clients in creating forward movement toward the changes they want to make in their lives.

Her clinical style is eclectic, with a strong influence from Carl Rogers and the person-centered tradition. She integrates mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy so techniques are matched to each individual’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. For clients addressing work or vocational concerns, she can administer career assessments such as the MBTI, Skill Scan, and the Self-Directed Search.

Beginning therapy takes courage, and Rhonda is available to support and empower clients as they take those first steps. She looks forward to working with new clients and helping them pursue the changes they want to make.
