These methods aim to help clients make concrete changes while staying connected to their personal values.
Rene has eight years of professional experience and holds a LICSW, a clinical social work credential. She practices in Washington and conducts therapy in English. People who choose her will find a practical, collaborative approach focused on real-life steps and lasting change.
Using practical therapy approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on being heard and understood. In this approach the therapist follows the client's concerns, reflects what they share, and helps them clarify what matters most. It is useful for building confidence and working through self-esteem and relationship concerns.Motivational interviewing helps people find their own motivation to change. The therapist asks open questions, listens for strengths, and supports small goal setting. This style works well when someone feels stuck about addictions, behavior changes, or making life transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaboration includes checking in on progress and adjusting plans when something isn’t helping.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when that helps, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work for brief check-ins, homework follow-up, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, handle caregiving demands, or keep momentum between appointments.
