People who come to her can expect a collaborative style. She talks through current struggles, clarifies goals, and offers practical strategies to try between sessions. Progress is checked regularly and plans are adjusted when needed.
Renee offers services in English and is based in Texas. She accepts international clients and provides several online session formats to fit different needs. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Evidence-based techniques delivered online
Renee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and recovery. One approach helps people break patterns tied to addictions and substance use by identifying triggers, building coping skills, and creating a step-by-step plan to reduce risky behavior. Another approach targets mood and trauma-related symptoms by teaching skills for emotional regulation and grounding, so strong feelings become easier to manage and day-to-day functioning improves.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Renee will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend methods to try. She checks progress together and adjusts the plan when something is not working, so care stays aligned with what the person actually needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and text options allow quick check-ins or shorter touchpoints between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum during recovery or major life changes.
