About Rita
Rita asks clients what matters most and builds on their existing strengths. She uses assessments that look at biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors when that fits a client's needs. Faith-based values can be included when a client requests them and finds them meaningful.
Over six years in practice have shaped Rita's focus on short-term progress and clear goals. She emphasizes solution-focused methods that aim for concrete steps and measurable changes. Conversations are direct and focused on what can be tried next.
Rita has worked with people experiencing caregiving burdens, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer-related stress, hospice and end-of-life matters, and the emotional effects of divorce or blended family dynamics. She also supports people dealing with workplace stress, self-esteem problems, and feelings of emptiness.
Sessions are offered from Maryland and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Rita communicates in English and is not set up to work with international clients.

How solution-focused work can fit into online care
Rita practices solution-focused methods that concentrate on identifying clear goals and testing small steps between sessions. This approach is about finding what already helps and increasing those actions, which can be useful for problems like stress, caregiving strain, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes.She also integrates a bio-psychosocial-spiritual view when it suits a client. That means looking at physical, emotional, social, and spiritual factors together and using faith-based principles if a client requests them and finds them helpful.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Rita works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts the plan as work moves forward so clients know the focus of each session.
The therapist's profile does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-in meetings, and help maintain continuity during caregiving or health-related demands. Licensed professionals can adapt solution-focused strategies to these practical rhythms to keep progress moving between sessions.
