About Rondel
Rondel Kittleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on practical help for parents and individuals juggling stress and change. He speaks plainly about mental health and uses clear, teachable skills to help people manage anxiety, mood shifts, and day-to-day parenting challenges. He emphasizes step-by-step tools rather than abstract theory.
Sessions often involve learning simple Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot thoughts that fuel worry, test unhelpful beliefs, and practice calmer responses.
Background and approach
He also teaches basic relaxation strategies that parents can use between sessions. Rondel trained in psychology for both his undergraduate and graduate degrees and has three years of experience in clinical settings. Early work included inpatient hospital units where he supported a wide range of people across age groups and life situations.
Since the pandemic he has provided one-on-one telehealth sessions with adults and continued offering CBT-focused work with younger clients in prior roles. In practical terms Rondel focuses on helping people understand how their thinking affects emotions and behavior. He breaks ideas into small steps and gives homework that fits busy family schedules.
The goal is to give parents tools they can use right away to reduce stress and improve routines. Outside clinical work he enjoys walking, bird watching, reading, and playing FIFA. He also mentions a cat and a dog at home.

Approaches Rondel lists

How CBT-based care works online
Rondel primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical approach that helps people notice the thoughts that lead to anxiety or low mood and practice alternative responses. CBT focuses on small experiments and homework so skills learned in a session can be used during real-life parenting moments.The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. He will work with clients to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what fits the person's needs and daily routine. That collaborative testing helps determine whether CBT techniques or emphasis on relaxation skills will be most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and demonstrations of skills, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, guided practice, or when a shorter, more frequent touchpoint fits a busy parent schedule. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into family life.
