About Renee
Renee draws on a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Solution-focused techniques guide short-term goal setting and quick progress. Psychological coaching supports career planning and boosting self-esteem.
She favors a strengths-based outlook that highlights existing abilities. Sessions typically focus on clear steps and skills people can use outside of therapy. That makes work feel practical and relevant to daily life.
Renee has practiced in private settings for 15 years and brings broader clinical experience from two decades as a licensed clinician. She is also a licensed attorney, which contributes to her practical problem-solving style. Her work often addresses relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and coping with change.
People who prefer straightforward guidance and collaborative planning often find her approach helpful. She helps clients set short-term goals, try manageable experiments, and track small wins as they move toward lasting change.

Evidence-based approaches for online care
Renee uses evidence-based techniques in a practical way. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood. Sessions often include simple behavioral experiments and skill practice to test new ways of responding. Solution-focused methods concentrate on small, achievable goals and quick progress toward what matters most to the client.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Renee works with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what’s helpful. That collaborative process helps ensure therapy fits the person’s needs and preferences rather than forcing one style on everyone.
Confirm the session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so sessions are more convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, coaching tasks, and tracking tools to work well in an online setting while focusing on practical change.
