Evidence-based approaches and online care

Renee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on attachment and family patterns. Attachment-focused work looks at how early relationships affect current emotions and behavior, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Family systems-oriented techniques examine repeating dynamics within a family of origin so clients can identify recurring roles and make different choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Renee collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences. She will discuss options, try approaches in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for more in-depth conversation and cues from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, while chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, processing between meetings, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, and other obligations.
