About Rhiannon
Rhiannon Cruz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 10 years of experience working in outpatient, inpatient, and community settings. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Rhiannon also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, career doubts, and compassion fatigue.
She draws on practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. In sessions she listens for the story a person tells about themselves and looks for small, concrete changes that make day-to-day life easier. Her style focuses on teaching emotion recognition and validation skills that can be practiced between meetings.
Rhiannon's background includes one-on-one work across different treatment settings. That range informs how she helps people navigate intense emotions and disruptive behaviors. She offers straightforward tools for coping with anger, addiction urges, and grief reactions.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone that emphasizes clear goals and step-by-step strategies. Rhiannon invites people to try approaches and notice what helps, then adjust plans together. She encourages openness and commitment to the work while keeping sessions practical and focused.
Her practice centers on supporting adults through life transitions common in early adulthood - leaving home, career starts, relationship shifts, and identity questions - with attention to both immediate coping and longer-term patterns.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to a person. It helps people feel understood and clarifies which goals to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative - they try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan together rather than committing to one fixed approach up front.
The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time around classes or work. It also lets people try practices like CBT exercises or mindfulness between sessions and bring those experiences back for review.
