How Rita works
Sessions focus on identifying small, concrete steps clients can try between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to spotlight what is working and expand those wins into daily routines. Her background blends medical knowledge with social work practice.
That perspective informs conversations about caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer and hospice-related issues, and the emotional side of pregnancy and childbirth. Rita also addresses workplace stress, career questions, and self-esteem challenges. Rita listens for family of origin patterns, blended family dynamics, and common triggers around infidelity, divorce, or separation.
She offers support around parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, and forgiveness work. Compassion fatigue and caregiver burden are treated with practical coping tools and paced planning. People who prefer goal-focused, solution-oriented conversations may find her style helpful.
Rita provides sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button.

Online support options
Solution-Focused Care and Online Options
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable changes. It helps clients identify what is already working and build simple steps to reach clearer goals. This approach often suits people wanting fast, practical strategies for relationships, stress, grief, and life transitions.Rita combines that focus with a strengths-based perspective that leans on clients' existing resources. Together the client and therapist decide which ideas to try first and adjust based on what helps. The therapist will collaborate with each person to find the tone and pace that match their needs and goals.
Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn’t convenient, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, medical appointments, caregiving duties, or unpredictable days. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, goal-oriented work that fits a client's life.
