About Rhiannon
Rhiannon Cruz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona with 10 years of clinical experience. She has worked in outpatient and inpatient treatment settings as well as community programs, offering one-on-one sessions to adults. Her listed concerns include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, relationship and family stresses, and blended family issues among others.
Rhiannon uses practical, talk-based methods in session. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered approaches, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. She focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings, test unhelpful patterns, and try small changes that fit daily life.
Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals and concrete skills. She works alongside clients to identify emotions, build emotional validation, and practice new responses to conflict or stress. For people juggling parenting, career pressures, or relationship shifts, she helps break problems into manageable steps and tracks progress week to week.
Rhiannon also addresses concerns tied to identity and personal history, including attachment, abandonment, and body image. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and encourages openness and steady effort rather than quick fixes. The work often mixes short-term problem solving with longer conversations about life patterns.
People who want straightforward, skill-focused conversations about coping, communication, or blending households may find her approach useful. Before scheduling, readers should confirm the current session formats and timing options.
How her clinical approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s thoughts and feelings. It helps people become clearer about what matters to them and supports building self-validation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors for anxiety, depression, and stress.Rhiannon treats approach selection as collaborative. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest starting points. Together they check whether a method feels useful and adjust the plan over time rather than sticking to one fixed model.
Confirm the session formats before booking since specific online or in-person options are not listed here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins between obligations, sessions without travel time, or working around work hours. It can also allow focusing on skill practice and written exercises between meetings so progress continues between sessions.
