Evidence-based methods and flexible online care
Renee uses clear, evidence-based techniques to help people make changes that matter in daily life. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and behavioral changes to reduce symptoms of depression and mood disorders; it helps with planning simple, repeatable actions and tracking progress. Another approach emphasizes relapse prevention and practical strategies for addiction and substance use; this involves identifying triggers, creating step-by-step plans, and practicing new responses in routine situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Renee collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. The plan evolves over time and clients are involved in choosing what feels most helpful.
Online therapy with Renee is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with ongoing reminders or brief reflections between appointments. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into daily life and offer flexibility for different routines and needs.
