Rhonda Piazza, LPC

Rhonda Piazza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 23 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and other mood or life-change challenges, including codependency and family of origin issues.

Piazza believes people are not broken; they make the best choices they can from their history and situation. Over time those choices can become coping patterns that get in the way of goals. She helps clients identify values and consider different options that fit those values.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Rhonda draws from person-centered ideas and uses mindfulness techniques to slow down and notice what’s happening. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change.

Her approach is flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. For people dealing with addiction or process behavioral concerns, she combines motivational methods with cognitive work to reduce problematic habits and build new routines. For trauma and abuse survivors she integrates trauma-focused interventions alongside grounding strategies.

Piazza can also help with career questions and offers career assessments such as the MBTI, SkillScan, and the Self-Directed Search when that fits a client’s goals. She asks clients to set the goals they want and then supports practical steps toward those goals.

To begin, she guides clients through a brief matching questionnaire and schedules a first session so goals and next steps are clear.
