Background and approach
She focuses on strengths and small, realistic changes that add up over time. Renee draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with skills to manage troubling thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-Based ideas inform how early relationships affect current struggles. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented.
Renee aims to make a plan that fits day-to-day life, whether that means learning new coping skills, improving communication, or processing painful events. She emphasizes safety, pacing, and steady progress. Her training includes Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC.
Renee offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Renee uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are difficult. That approach is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills for behavior change. CBT often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping with day-to-day problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. Together you will try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for full sessions that feel more like in-person meetings. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits your schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for ongoing support, brief check-ins, and practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy routines.
