Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Renee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, which include skills-based interventions that teach practical coping strategies for symptoms like anxiety and depression. These approaches focus on building tools clients can use day to day to reduce distress and improve functioning. She also applies relational and grief-focused work that explores interpersonal patterns, communication, and loss, helping clients address family conflict, relationship challenges, and bereavement in a structured, supportive way.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Renee treats it as a collaborative effort. She works with each client to identify goals, test approaches, and adjust strategies based on progress and personal preference so therapy fits the client's needs and values.

Online therapy with Renee is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexible scheduling and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to maintain continuity across locations, and to access support in ways that feel most comfortable for the client.
