Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. In practice this means the therapist reflects what matters to you and helps you decide the pace and direction of the work. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build momentum. Sessions use guided questions and gentle feedback to strengthen motivation, which can help with addictions, career shifts, and sticking to new habits.
Rene treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what works. That collaborative process often begins in the first few online sessions.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins and ongoing support easier to fit into busy days. These options help people maintain steady progress without major schedule disruption.
