About Rondel
Rondel Kittleman is a licensed professional counselor who often works with parents looking for practical ways to support their children and manage family stress. He explains mental health in clear terms and focuses on teaching skills families can use right away. His style is straightforward and educational, aimed at helping people build tools they can practice at home.
Rondel earned a master’s degree in psychology and holds an LPC license in Texas.
Background and approach
Early in his career he worked in an inpatient hospital and gained a range of experience with different age groups. He later focused on teaching Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skills to children and adolescents for several years.
Since the start of the pandemic he began offering one-on-one sessions to adults by telemedicine, helping with anxiety related to COVID-19, quarantine stress, and managing anxious thoughts. He emphasizes practical CBT techniques like thought tracking and relaxation exercises that people can use between sessions. Sessions with Rondel are educational and skills-based.
He spends time explaining what mental health symptoms look like and why certain thoughts lead to stronger emotions. The aim is to help clients gain understanding so they can apply strategies on their own. Outside of work he enjoys walks, bird watching, reading, and playing FIFA.
He also shares his home with a cat and a dog.
How CBT-based online therapy works for families and parenting
Rondel primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and common family challenges by teaching practical exercises and thought records to reduce upsetting feelings.The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. Rondel will talk with clients about goals, try techniques during sessions, and adjust strategies based on what helps most. This gives parents practical options and a clear plan to practice between meetings.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face work from home, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give alternatives for shorter check-ins or when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to fit regular skill-building into family routines and to get support without traveling to an office.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
