Her practice emphasizes clear strategies and steady support to help individuals move through difficult moments and toward meaningful improvement in daily life.

CBT-Focused Online Support for Anxiety and Addiction

Renee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective coping strategies. CBT is often used to address anxiety, stress, social fears, and patterns that contribute to substance use by teaching concrete tools for managing symptoms and changing responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Renee works collaboratively with each person to determine whether CBT or another strategy best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Renee is designed to be flexible and accessible. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and she also offers live chat and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful change.
