About Renee

Renee Rhoades is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and LGBT-related concerns. She brings 18 years of experience and a calm, respectful manner to each conversation. Renee aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is unsure about therapy.

She listens first and tailors the work to each person. Sessions focus on practical talk and real-life strategies that fit daily demands. Renee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts her approach to what each person needs most.

Renee has worked in Colorado settings across a range of life challenges. Her background includes supporting people with addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and parenting strain. She also helps those coping with major life changes such as caregiving, chronic illness, cancer, and aging concerns.

People who see her often bring worries about self-esteem, anger, communication problems, commitment and attachment issues, or complications from blended families. Renee also addresses less common areas like BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture in a nonjudgmental way. She combines straightforward discussion with practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Her goal is to work side by side with clients to set clear, achievable goals. Renee invites people to move at a pace that feels right and adjusts plans as needs change. She encourages taking the next small step toward feeling better.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Renee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and clear goals. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for stress and anxiety with short exercises and behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions. Another thread of her work centers on grief and loss, using structured conversations to help process feelings and identify steps forward.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee will work with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts methods as progress is made so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit help into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow a quicker check-in during a busy day, and make attendance more consistent. Because the original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm current options before booking. The emphasis is on making sessions practical and usable in everyday routines rather than promising a particular delivery method.
