About Renee
She uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. Conversations look at current problems and practical ways to change them. Renee draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build a working plan together. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and DBT skills to identify thought patterns and develop coping strategies.
Renee helps people sort through relationship struggles, communication problems, and the fallout from separation or narcissistic dynamics. She supports those facing guilt, shame, isolation, impulsivity, and the emotional impact of chronic health conditions. Sessions often break issues into manageable steps with short-term goals and skills practice.
Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques appear when clients want to set clear next steps. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Renee describes the work as collaborative: she helps people try tools, reflect on what works, and adjust the plan as needed.
People considering therapy with Renee are encouraged to think about practical goals before their first meeting. Examples include improving communication, managing panic or depressive symptoms, or clarifying next steps around work or life purpose. The initial conversation focuses on priorities and a realistic path forward.

How Renee uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people set their own goals. It is useful for clarifying values, life purpose questions, and deciding what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. DBT skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for relationship strain and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering sessions when getting to an office is difficult. It also makes it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring examples from daily life into sessions.
