About Renee
Renee Rhoades is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship struggles. She works with clients across a wide range of concerns, including LGBT-related issues, addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, and parenting challenges. Renee uses a respectful and compassionate style to guide people through difficult moments.
With 18 years of experience, Renee brings steady, practical support to sessions. She listens for what feels most urgent and then helps build a plan that fits each person's life.
How Renee works
Conversations are tailored to the individual instead of relying on one fixed method. Renee takes a direct, empathic approach. She helps people identify coping strategies, improve communication, and rebuild confidence after loss or major change.
For those with chronic health issues or caregiver stress, she focuses on realistic steps that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. People who struggle with relationship patterns, commitment worries, or attachment concerns can work on clearer boundaries and better emotional understanding. She also addresses sexual concerns and kink-related topics in a nonjudgmental way when they arise.
Renee is licensed in Colorado as an LCSW and also holds the CSW credential. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Renee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns and replacing them with workable coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings. This method helps with stress, panic, and day-to-day emotional regulation.She also draws on trauma-informed strategies that prioritize safety and paced progress after abuse or painful loss. These strategies help people rebuild a sense of control, process grief, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee listens to a client's goals, life circumstances, and preferences, then tailors the plan together. If a technique isn't working, she adjusts it so sessions stay relevant and helpful.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit help into a busy life. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options offer flexibility and make it possible to keep consistent progress from different locations.
