Remote sessions and therapeutic focus
Renee offers remote sessions that combine practical skill-building with reflective exploration. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, she works with clients to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to develop actionable strategies for managing symptoms, sleep difficulties, and mood changes. Client-centered therapy provides the space for each person to set the pace and focus of work while feeling listened to and respected.Attachment-based therapy is used when relationship patterns and early bonds are central to the presenting concerns. In that approach Renee helps clients explore how attachment histories influence current relationships and emotional responses, supporting them to experiment with different ways of connecting and regulating feelings.
Remote appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options are presented to help clients find a format that fits their schedule and preferences. Renee is licensed in Virginia and does not accept international clients.
