About Rita
She centers the conversation on each person's strengths and goals. Sessions draw on Solution-Focused Therapy, which highlights quick, practical changes and realistic steps. Rita also includes faith-based principles when a client asks for them and finds that approach meaningful.
Rita uses a comprehensive view when getting to know someone, looking at biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that affect wellbeing. That assessment helps her tailor short-term plans and concrete tasks between meetings. She aims to help clients gain perspective and practical ways to handle stress, anxiety, relationship tension, parenting challenges, and work-related strain.
Her background includes six years of experience as an LCSW-C in Maryland. Rita works with people dealing with caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, cancer-related issues, blended family problems, divorce and separation, intimacy and infidelity, and self-esteem difficulties. She draws on this experience to offer focused support during difficult transitions.

How Rita Uses Solution-Focused Work Online
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on practical steps and small changes that make a real difference. It looks for exceptions to problems and builds on things that already work in a person's life. This approach is helpful for relationship concerns, grief, caregiver stress, workplace issues, and short-term goals.When faith-based values matter to a client, Rita incorporates those principles into the work at the client's request. That can mean connecting goals to spiritual resources or using faith-informed language while keeping the focus on achievable actions.
Finding the right approach is a shared effort. Rita works with clients to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and daily routines. She will adjust tasks and session focus as progress is made so the plan stays relevant and useful.
The therapist's original biography notes that sessions are provided by phone only due to availability limits, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use work breaks or quiet moments at home for appointments.
