Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what helps day to day. Her style blends talk therapy with skill-based work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and adjust behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Renee also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take action toward them, and on attachment-focused ideas to make sense of difficult relationship patterns. Those approaches are mixed to fit each person’s goals and pace.
She offers sessions over video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. People who want to start fill out a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Payments use a cancellable subscription model that varies by location and therapist availability.
Renee’s work emphasizes steady progress, clear skills, and thoughtful support for everyday problems. She aims to help people build routines and responses that stick.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward them. It helps people manage anxiety and low mood by teaching ways to live in line with what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and tests new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and the day-to-day problems linked with ADHD symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. That makes it helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Renee works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts tools and pacing as progress and challenges become clearer over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and energy levels. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging tools provide quick check-ins or short coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, or other commitments.
