How her approaches guide online work

Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and values. In sessions this often looks like talking through what matters to you, where you feel stuck, and what kind of life you want to create. It can help with feelings of depression, life transitions, or uncertainty about commitments.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they hear, and creates space for people to explore their thoughts and emotions. This approach is helpful when someone needs validation and clearer self-understanding before making changes.

Motivational Interviewing is a practical way to build internal motivation for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help people resolve mixed feelings and set concrete goals, which can be useful for addictions, habit change, or career moves.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Rene will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on goals and preferences. That allows sessions to shift over time as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, flexible communication between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
