About Renee
Renee Rhoades is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, and relationship struggles. She works in Colorado and brings an unhurried, respectful approach that aims to make the first steps feel doable. Her tone is direct and compassionate, designed to help someone who is worried or overwhelmed feel heard right away.
Renee has 18 years of professional experience as a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - and also holds the CSW credential.
Background and approach
She combines that background with straightforward conversations tailored to each person’s situation. Sessions focus on real problems like work stress, family conflict, coping with loss, and LGBT-related concerns. In her work she adapts the dialogue and plan to fit the individual rather than using one fixed method.
She pays attention to immediate needs like managing anxiety or improving communication, while also addressing longer term patterns that affect mood and relationships. People can expect concrete strategies alongside time to process emotions. Renee also supports clients dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.
She lists additional focuses such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, attachment and commitment concerns. Her aim is to meet people where they are and help them move forward step by step. Sessions are available in English and can be scheduled online for flexibility.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connects prospective clients with her practice and the session format that fits their needs.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Renee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches ways to manage anxiety, mood swings, and stress through step-by-step exercises and coping tools. This helps when daily emotions or big life changes feel overwhelming.Another emphasis is on improving communication and relationships by practicing new ways to talk and set boundaries. Those techniques are useful for family conflict, intimacy concerns, and issues around caregiving or blended households. They aim to create safer, more effective patterns over time.
Finding the right method is part of the process, and Renee works together with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and comfort. That collaborative process lets techniques be adjusted as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it possible to connect from home, during a break, or while traveling, and they allow follow-up and brief check-ins between longer sessions. The variety of options helps people choose what fits their schedule and communication style.
