About Renee
She draws on nine years of clinical experience. Sessions emphasize understanding how past experiences shape current feelings, and then testing small changes to see what helps. Renee uses tools from client-centered work to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s values and priorities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can be added when stronger emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed. Mindfulness exercises are offered to help slow down racing thoughts and regain focus in stressful moments.
Renee also integrates motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck or uncertain. Her approach is collaborative: she and the client decide what to try, then track what works. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they come up.
Renee works with people on issues like guilt, shame, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, and narcissism-related concerns. She practices in Michigan and offers services in English. To start, she asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match goals and schedule sessions.

How Renee Uses Therapy Models Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person’s lead to clarify values and goals. It helps when someone needs a space to sort through emotions and decide what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It involves practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help during times of high conflict or when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee will talk with each client about goals and preferences, then recommend techniques to try. The plan is adjusted over time based on what helps the person meet their goals.
Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or quiet moments. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm the available options before booking. That way you can choose arrangements that match your daily routine and communication needs.
