Approaches that guide online sessions
Renée often draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in session, creating space for honest conversation and personal choice. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space to make sense of feelings and decide next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and anger. CBT is useful for people who want concrete tools to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions begin with clear goals and a plan that can change as progress is made.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins, ongoing journaling, and frequent support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to work therapy into a busy life and to try different formats until the right fit is found.
