How her client-centered and solution-focused work fits online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and strengths. The therapist listens, reflects what matters to the client, and helps people make choices that match their values. This approach can help with mood concerns, self-esteem, and challenging life transitions.Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. Sessions look for existing resources and past successes to build short-term progress. It is often useful for stress, workplace issues, and finding ways to cope with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Renee will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and she will adapt the approach accordingly. That collaboration helps set realistic next steps and decide what to try in session.
