Typical topics she addresses include mood and anxiety problems, substance and behavioral concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma, ADHD, and struggles around life purpose or midlife transitions.

Renee emphasizes respect and kindness as the starting point for change. She works with people to strengthen existing skills and target specific goals. If someone wants straightforward support for making life feel more manageable, she offers steady, practical care.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to each person's concerns in ways that feel respectful and useful. In practice this means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and proceed at their pace while building trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues, and motivation. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and practical steps, helping people identify what has worked before and try brief changes toward clearer outcomes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. That may mean using CBT skills for sleep and worry, client-centered talk to untangle values, or solution-focused plans for short-term goals.
If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the currently available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins between other commitments. They can also let someone try techniques and homework in real life between appointments, so sessions connect directly to everyday challenges.
