How Renee’s approaches translate to online therapy
Renee uses Client-Centered Therapy to establish a collaborative relationship where the person’s goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people access their own strengths to manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life changes.She also works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems. CBT provides hands-on strategies for managing anxiety, depression, eating and food-related issues, and addictive behaviors through practical exercises and experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques from different approaches as needed. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits individual needs.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because available formats are set by the therapist and platform. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain consistency while they try new strategies between meetings.
