About Rhiannon
Rhiannon Cruz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and self-esteem concerns. She writes plainly and invites honest conversation, aiming to give a steady listening ear and practical steps people can try between sessions. Her approach centers on identifying and naming emotions so clients can respond to them more clearly.
She brings 10 years of experience from outpatient and inpatient treatment settings and community programs. That background means she has worked with a range of individual needs in one-on-one sessions. Her past roles inform how she structures sessions and the skills she teaches.
Rhiannon uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy. She draws from those methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice different behaviors, and rewrite parts of their personal story that feel stuck.
In session she focuses on teaching emotion identification and validation. She encourages commitment to small, achievable changes and offers practical tools to manage stress, sleep, and interpersonal problems. She also supports people working through grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and career or parenting stress.
