About Renee
Renee Rhoades is a Colorado Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, family conflict, grief and loss, and other life strains. Renee speaks English and accepts international clients.
She focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions are aimed at helping people identify what is most pressing and try small changes that can reduce daily stress. Renee listens for patterns in relationships, communication, and behavior that keep problems repeating and brings those observations into session work.
Renee uses approaches grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means she draws on methods shown to help with anxiety, relationship patterns, mood shifts, and coping after loss. She adapts those methods to the person in front of her rather than following a script.
Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical work in Colorado settings. Over time she has helped people with addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy questions, parenting strain, career concerns, and caregiving stress. She also supports people coping with chronic illness and body image issues.
In sessions she tends to move between exploring how life events affect emotions and trying concrete skills to change unhelpful habits. She helps clients weigh options, practice new ways of communicating, and plan steps for change. People often leave a session with a short, practical action to try before the next meeting.
Evidence-based approaches for online support
Renee draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One approach emphasizes working on thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and avoidance going, teaching tools to reduce worry and test out new behaviors. Another approach looks at relationship and attachment patterns so people can change how they communicate and connect when intimacy or family conflict is a problem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made. The emphasis is on short, clear goals and checking what helps between sessions.
Practical benefits of working online include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands, which can make it simpler to keep momentum. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, camera-off phone conversations if needed, or full video sessions depending on what is arranged, helping sessions fit into work, caregiving, or other routines.
