She uses Solution-Focused techniques to create concrete next steps and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen commitment to goals.

Renee aims to help people make steady progress through short, practical, and respectful work together.
Approaches and how online therapy fits
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps clarify what matters most so goals feel personally meaningful.Motivational Interviewing is about finding reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help people notice their own motivations and commit to steps they choose. This can help with sticking to plans for ADHD, career goals, or managing stress.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims for short, specific steps. Sessions identify small, practical actions to try between meetings and measure progress in concrete ways, which can be useful for busy lives and immediate problems.
Renee treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She works with each person to match methods to goals, preferences, and daily demands. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the plan together so the work stays useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when sessions happen. Video calls work well for longer conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick reflections, notes, or brief check-ins without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into real life.
