About Renee

She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, adoption and foster care histories, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image problems.

Clients can expect a mix of talking, skills practice, and reflection tailored to their goals. Renee emphasizes clear steps a person can try between sessions. Renee practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
How Renee’s approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how feelings guide behavior and connection. Online sessions using EFT help people notice and name emotions, shift painful patterns, and practice different ways of relating to themselves and others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values; remotely, ACT helps people build small practical steps to live by what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods based on your goals and preferences. That collaborative process means you and the therapist decide whether to emphasize emotion-focused work, acceptance strategies, or cognitive skills at any point.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, and chat or text-based messaging supports brief reflections or questions between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best for you.
