Background and approach
She draws on straightforward methods that help people notice patterns and try small changes. In sessions she emphasizes trust, respect, and practical steps. Renee encourages clients to take responsibility for their choices while offering support and feedback.
She helps people develop strengths they already have and targets specific areas that need attention. Her work uses techniques from cognitive behavioral and client-centered approaches, along with solution-focused strategies and mindfulness practices. These approaches help with mood, coping skills, and breaking unhelpful habits.
Motivational interviewing is also part of her toolkit to support change when people feel uncertain. Renee often helps with stress, self-esteem, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and sleep or eating difficulties. She also supports people facing major life changes, midlife questions, or struggles with isolation and purpose.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process to find workable steps forward.
Evidence-informed approaches delivered online
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a strong, respectful relationship and letting the client's priorities guide each session; it helps people who need a listening space and support to clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change daily habits. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice the present moment and reduce reactivity, which can calm stress and improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as progress or obstacles appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions, phone calls can be easier on low bandwidth, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy lives while still using interactive, skills-based methods.
