About Renee

Renee Joyce is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Colorado with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who want clearer direction, better self-understanding, and more workable day-to-day coping. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, ADHD and identity matters.

Renee helps people untangle what is causing strain and then picks practical steps to reduce it. Sessions are active and goal-focused. She uses a strength-based, solution-focused stance to find what works for each person.

She draws from several evidence-informed approaches. Attachment-based ideas guide how she looks at relationship patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) tools are used for managing intense emotions. When trauma is involved, she may incorporate EMDR methods alongside other interventions.

Work in therapy might include building communication skills, managing anxiety or burnout, processing losses, and navigating changes such as adoption, blended family issues, or separation. Renee also supports people exploring sexuality, kink, and nontraditional relationship arrangements without judgment.

Sessions move at a practical pace. Some people meet short-term goals in a few weeks, while others stay longer to address deeper trauma or identity development. The focus is on clear steps clients can try between sessions and checking what helps most.

How her approaches translate to online work

Renee commonly blends attachment-based ideas and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how past and current relationships shape reactions and helps people try different ways of connecting. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense feelings, handling conflict, and improving emotional regulation.

She may also use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) methods for trauma-focused work when appropriate. EMDR involves structured techniques to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Renee will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try short-term strategies, and adjust methods based on what is actually helping. This collaborative planning helps match techniques to needs and preferences.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and make it simpler to continue work across moves or job changes. Licensed professionals often combine skills practice, guided exercises, and check-ins in remote sessions to keep work practical and applied.
