Renee Shacochis is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Maryland who brings a decade of professional experience to her clinical work. She earned a Master of Social Work with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health from the University of Maryland-Baltimore in 2011 and has spent the last 10 years providing individual, family, and group therapy to adults, children, and families from diverse backgrounds.
Her clinical experience includes supporting people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, adjustment difficulties, parenting and relationship struggles, communication challenges, and related concerns. She also works with issues such as stress, self-esteem, family conflict, anger management, career difficulties, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Renee holds a medical degree (MD) and is a Maryland-licensed clinical social worker, licensed as an LCSW-C with license number 17019, and she frames those credentials in a practical, client-centered way. Her therapeutic style is strengths-based and focused on building a strong rapport and collaborative alliance, which she considers essential for productive outcomes. When setting goals and selecting interventions she draws on a range of clinical approaches, always guided by each person’s unique needs.
She offers individual, family, and group services and is available for messaging, live chat, and phone sessions on a case-by-case basis. She notes there may be some scheduling flexibility beyond what appears on her calendar and invites prospective clients to reach out via messaging to explore options that might be more convenient.
Whether someone is seeking therapy for the first time or returning to counseling, Renee is committed to working at a pace that feels productive and comfortable. She aims to support people through their current life challenges and looks forward to hearing from those interested in beginning work together.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is the flexibility it offers. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that suits them best - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible, practical way to address everyday mental health concerns without sacrificing the quality of care.
