Rondel Kittleman, LPC

Rondel Kittleman is an LPC based in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He focuses on teaching clear, practical skills so people can feel more in control of everyday worries. Rondel uses straightforward language and short, actionable strategies in sessions.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mainly teaching how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. Rondel often works with people who are dealing with anxiety tied to life changes, grief, relationship strain, sleep and eating problems, and other concerns listed in his specialties. He emphasizes education about how symptoms show up and what can reduce their impact.

Rondel has three years of documented experience and previously worked in an inpatient hospital setting. He spent years teaching CBT skills to adolescents and children and later expanded to one-on-one adult work through telemedicine at the start of the pandemic. That background informs his step-by-step skill teaching and focus on relaxation techniques.

In a typical session he identifies patterns in thinking that lead to stronger emotions and practices strategies to shift those patterns. He teaches relaxation exercises and concrete CBT tools people can use between sessions. The aim is to build understanding of how the mind works and to give practical methods people can use on their own.

Outside work he enjoys walking, bird watching, reading, and playing FIFA, and shares his home with a cat and a dog. Rondel’s approach is direct, skill-focused, and geared toward helping people feel steadier in daily life.

How CBT skills translate to online therapy

Rondel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different ways of thinking and acting. CBT teaches specific steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, and handle stress through skills you can practice between sessions.

He also emphasizes relaxation techniques that are short and teachable, such as breathing exercises and simple grounding practices that help lower immediate tension. These tools are practical when anxiety spikes or sleep is disrupted.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rondel will collaborate with each person to choose which CBT strategies and relaxation exercises fit their needs and goals. He checks in on what works and adjusts the plan over time so sessions match your priorities.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in their usual routines. Licensed professionals often use video, phone, or messaging in different ways to support learning and consistency, so discuss which option fits your schedule and comfort when you begin.
