Background and approach

Sessions often include short-term strategies that clients can try between meetings and then review together. Rita blends a holistic view of a person’s situation with attention to everyday pressures like work, parenting, caregiving, and health concerns. She can address issues tied to aging, blended family dynamics, cancer and hospice-related stress, and workplace strain.

The focus is on usable tools for coping and improving day-to-day functioning. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients clarify what they want to be different and create realistic plans to get there. Rita listens for what’s working now and helps people repeat those successes in other parts of life.

Her style is practical, direct, and supportive. Rita practices in Maryland and conducts sessions in English. She offers a range of online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Cost varies with location and sessions run on a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Solution-Focused Care Online and Practical Options

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what a person wants to change and builds small, testable steps toward that goal. It is useful for anxiety, stress, relationship strains, and life transitions because it emphasizes concrete actions rather than long analysis. Rita looks for existing strengths and repeats what already works to create momentum.

The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust plans together. If Solution-Focused work isn’t the best fit, Rita will help explore different ways of working that match the client’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief problem solving, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping the focus on usable steps and steady progress.
