Background and approach

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
Practical approaches for online care
Rene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and problem solving. One common approach centers on managing emotions and building coping strategies to reduce anxiety and handle anger. That work involves learning breathing and grounding skills, testing new responses to stressful moments, and practicing those skills in everyday situations.Another useful approach targets mood regulation and behavioral routines for people with bipolar disorder or mood instability. This includes tracking mood patterns, setting daily rhythms, and creating small plans to stabilize sleep, activity, and social contact. These steps help reduce extreme swings and make mood easier to predict and manage.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Rene will work together with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals and preferences. He adjusts plans as needs change and focuses on simple, workable steps rather than complex theory.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people work face to face when it helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options add flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels.
