How Renee Uses Practical Approaches Online

Renee commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods when working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice thoughts that lead to stress or anxiety and then test new responses to see what reduces distress. Client-centered work focuses on building a trusting relationship and listening closely so goals come from the person's own values and choices.

She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help people pay attention to the present moment and motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - she will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual interaction, while phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a break. Live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style conversations, or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
