Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Renee commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and behavior change.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and what methods feel most helpful. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging fits people who prefer shorter exchanges or need flexible ways to check in during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules and work routines.
