About Rita
Rita DiVenti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years in the mental health field. She helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and life transitions. Rita aims for straightforward, respectful care that focuses on practical change.
Rita works side by side with each person to pin down the problems that matter most. She avoids labeling people as right or wrong and instead looks at what is working and what is not.
How Rita works
Sessions are collaborative and aim to build small, usable skills that make daily life easier. Her approach draws from several evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Rita adapts methods and tools to a person's comfort level, sometimes bringing warmth and gentle humor into sessions.
The tone is human and strengths-focused rather than judgmental. Rita has helped people address communication problems and the fallout from divorce and separation. She also supports work on mood disorders, building self-love, and issues many women face.
Her goal is to help clients find balance and feel more able to enjoy life. Clients should expect clear conversation, a focus on practical tools, and partnership in decision making. Rita practices in New Jersey and conducts sessions in English.
She works with adults age 18 and over who want to make changes and feel better in their day-to-day lives.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Rita uses a mix of evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills. Cognitive approaches help people notice and reframe patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety or depression, and they teach step-by-step tools for daily use. A skills-focused approach similar to dialectical methods can help with emotion regulation and improving communication under stress, offering concrete strategies for staying calm and responding rather than reacting.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rita will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their comfort level, and adjust as needed. Together they decide what feels useful and relevant to day-to-day challenges.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or to use written reflection when that suits someone better. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family responsibilities, and busy schedules, while keeping therapy practical and consistent.
