About Renee

Renee Joyce is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Colorado with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults who want clearer direction, better emotional balance, and stronger relationships. Renee aims to make the first steps manageable and practical, so people can feel relief early in the process.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions are active and focused on real-life changes rather than jargon.

Background and approach

Renee uses a strength-based, solution-oriented approach that centers on each person’s values and goals. She helps clients notice what’s getting in the way and builds straightforward steps to move forward. Renee draws from several evidence-based methods, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Gottman Method.

Those tools are chosen to fit a person’s situation, whether the need is around stress, grief, trauma, identity, or relationship patterns. Practical concerns like parenting, career stress, neurodivergence, intimacy, and family patterns are common topics. Sessions often include skills practice, communication coaching, and targeted strategies to manage anxiety or emotional overwhelm.

Progress can look different for everyone and is guided by the goals set together. Renee invites clear, purposeful work that balances short-term problem solving with deeper healing when needed. She emphasizes realistic steps and steady progress so clients can begin to feel more grounded and in control of their lives.

How these methods translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes safety and connection. Online sessions focus on strengthening emotional bonds and identifying patterns that affect relationships and parenting. This approach can help with attachment issues, family of origin concerns, and improving closeness.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, works with distressing memories and trauma. In remote sessions, EMDR uses guided processing and bilateral stimulation adapted for video or phone work to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms.

Renee treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options and tailor methods to match a person’s goals, needs, and comfort level. The plan can change over time as progress and priorities become clearer.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work from home, phone sessions provide a simpler option when video isn’t convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging can support check-ins, coaching, and skill practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work focused and goal-oriented.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
