About Renee

Renee Rhoades is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Colorado with 18 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, family conflict, grief, depression, and addictions. Renee also addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is practical and conversational. She adapts talk and problem-solving to what feels most useful to the person in front of her. Sessions tend to focus on identifying what is most urgent at home, building straightforward coping strategies, and testing small changes between appointments.

Renee draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on trauma, relationship patterns, communication problems, and attachment concerns. She also supports people managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, blended family questions, and identity-related issues tied to BDSM and kink culture. Her work often includes coaching-style guidance for everyday problems alongside clinical interventions.

People meet with Renee to sort through painful emotions, rebuild stable routines, and practice clearer ways of asking for what they need. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she helps clients track what is working and what needs to shift.

To begin, readers are prompted to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time, and international clients may be accepted. Confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Renee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. This method helps people handle daily worries, low mood, and decision-making under pressure.

Another approach concentrates on attachment and communication patterns. It helps people recognize repeated interaction cycles at home and practice clearer ways of asking for needs. This can be useful for those navigating family conflict, blended households, or intimacy-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Renee will work with the client to match methods to goals and circumstances. Sessions begin with practical goals and evolve as the person notices what helps and what does not.

The original biography does not specify session formats. Please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth, or a quick break at work without committing to a long commute.
