How Renee Integrates Online Therapy and Therapeutic Approaches
Renee regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying practical alternatives to reduce distress. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take value-driven actions, even when uncomfortable feelings are present.She views finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together with the client she discusses goals, trials different techniques, and adjusts methods based on what helps most. That means trying skills-based work, reflective conversation, or a mix depending on needs and preferences.
Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations within the same region. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and ACT exercises for remote work, such as practicing skills between meetings and reviewing progress each week.
