How Renée’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room and their goals. The therapist listens closely and supports the client’s own choices. This helps with building confidence, decision making, and trying new behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. It often includes simple exercises and skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and worry about daily tasks.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers techniques for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes practical tools for distress tolerance and better communication in tense moments.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what works. Clients help guide which tools and exercises feel most useful for their situation.

It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during transitions, while the therapist and client work together to select the most practical way to meet.
