How CBT and practical therapy fit into online care
Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a main tool, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test those thoughts, and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She focuses on concrete skill building for issues like social anxiety, phobias, and substance use. That work often includes short between-session exercises, gradual exposure tasks, and problem-solving steps that translate well to remote work with a therapist.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Renee will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then adjust methods as needed. She collaborates on a plan that fits the client's needs and reviews progress regularly to refine the work.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quick check-ins, and support consistent skill practice without long travel time. They can also allow shorter, focused meetings when a brief check-in is more useful than a full session.
