How Rene’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their own goals. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead to build motivation and confidence. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and making life changes.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term conversational style that helps people clarify why change matters to them and find their own reasons to act. It is useful for addictions, commitment issues, and when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rene will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made.

It also makes it possible to continue momentum when moving or during life transitions, while the therapist and client test which approaches fit best.
