About Renee

Renee Rhoades is a Colorado licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with 18 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and LGBT-related concerns. She also addresses addictions, parenting challenges, and life changes that affect everyday functioning.

Renee focuses on practical conversations that help people sort through immediate problems. She uses straightforward talk and goal-focused planning to identify steps that can reduce day-to-day stress. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and to try small changes that can make routines feel more manageable.

Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical work across a range of behavioral health concerns. That experience informs how she frames options for coping with trauma, anger, and intimacy-related issues. She also draws on what has worked for people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and blended family issues.

Renee approaches care with respect and sensitivity. She personalizes the way she talks and plans with each person based on their circumstances and goals. The emphasis is on clear communication, practical problem solving, and steady steps toward better daily functioning.

People who choose her typically want pragmatic help sorting priorities, managing strong emotions, and repairing communication patterns. She asks questions, offers strategies, and checks progress so work in sessions connects to life outside therapy.

How evidence-based approaches guide online therapy

Renee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to practical goals. One common method focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This approach helps people notice what they believe, try small shifts in thinking, and measure whether those shifts change feelings or behavior.

Another method centers on building clearer communication and problem-solving skills. Sessions include role practice, setting boundaries, and step-by-step plans for handling difficult conversations - useful for blended household routines, co-parenting friction, or relationship strain.

Finding the right way to work is collaborative. Renee will help a person weigh different techniques against their goals, preferences, and everyday constraints. Together they decide what to try, check progress, and adjust strategies when something is not helping.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Because the original biography did not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online visits can make regular check-ins easier to maintain and allow short appointments or longer sessions to fit around family and work commitments.
