About Rondel
Rondel Kittleman is an LPC based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage sleep problems alongside common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. He uses clear, practical teaching to show how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Rondel aims to give straightforward skills people can use between sessions to get better rest and feel more in control.
Rondel trained in psychology at the undergraduate level and completed a master’s degree in psychology. He has three years of documented experience and additional practice teaching cognitive behavioral therapy skills for several years. Much of his early work was in inpatient hospital settings where he worked across age groups.
He emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focusing on identifying the thoughts that push feelings higher and on practicing alternative responses. Sessions often include learning relaxation techniques and simple exercises to shift unhelpful thinking. Rondel describes his role as an educator who helps people understand how mental health symptoms show up and what can lessen them.
People can expect direct explanation and step-by-step skill building. Rondel tends to teach short, concrete practices that can be repeated at home to improve sleep and daily functioning. He discusses how small routine changes and managed thinking patterns can reduce nighttime worry.
Outside of work he enjoys walks, bird watching, reading, and playing FIFA. He also has a cat and a dog. Rondel presents as calm and practical and aims to help clients learn tools they can use on their own.
How CBT skills translate to online sessions
Rondel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core method. CBT helps people spot the thoughts that fuel worry and poor sleep, then practice alternative ways of thinking and behaving. It often includes homework like thought records and relaxation exercises to do between sessions.He also teaches relaxation and breathing techniques that reduce arousal and promote better rest. These are brief, guided practices clients can learn in a session and repeat on their own when anxious or finding it hard to fall asleep.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which CBT strategies or relaxation skills match their needs, goals, and day-to-day routine. That choice can shift over time as progress is made.
