Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Renee uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients are heard and understood, which supports growth in self-esteem and improved relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than following a rigid plan. This partnership helps ensure interventions remain relevant and practical.
Online therapy with Renee offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to build rapport, explore concerns, and practice new skills in ways that suit each client.
