04Online support

How her approaches work online

Renee uses client-centered therapy to build a trusting relationship and understand what matters most to each person. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and supporting the client's own goals and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which helps with issues like depression, anxiety, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This means adjusting focus over time and combining techniques as progress is tracked together.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video is useful for deeper conversation and reading facial cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Shorter check-ins can be done by live chat or messaging for quick support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy routines.
