Rita emphasizes the client’s background and belief system while respecting the differences in the opinions, values, and attitudes of various cultures and different types of people to provide the most effective treatment specific to a client. Race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or other important elements play a huge part in a person's identity so incorporating cultural sensitivity accommodates and respects clients in this way.
Rita prioritizes creating a therapeutic alliance by using supportive therapy to alleviate symptoms, improve self-esteem, regulate impulses and negative thinking, restore relation to reality, and reinforce the ability to cope with life stressors and challenges to ensure the client is most successful.

Rita messaged me at 10:07 for my appointment at 10:00 AM, telling me that I needed to download Zoom to talk with her and to register through another portal, which did not allow me to register, called Ally Health or something like that. When I finally had her send me her personal Zoom link, which I found very unprofessional, she tried to make it sound like this was not a big deal and everybody does it. I believe this was incredibly unprofessional, and you should consider the optics of this
