About Renee

Renee Rhoades is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and anger. She also supports people dealing with LGBT-related concerns, addiction, depression, parenting stress, and career pressures.

Renee keeps things straightforward in sessions. She listens to what matters most and talks through practical steps to reduce tension and improve communication. Sessions focus on present problems, coping strategies, and realistic goals for change.

Her background includes long-term work in clinical settings across Colorado. That experience shaped a practical approach to common problems like burnout, compassion fatigue, and navigating life changes. Renee draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and skill-building.

People meet with her to sort through painful events, manage emotional reactivity, or rebuild trust after hurt. She often helps people recognize patterns that lead to snapping at loved ones or building resentment. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier responses in daily life.

Renee adapts sessions to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script. She expects active collaboration - setting goals, trying new strategies, and checking what works. Her practice accepts international clients and operates from Colorado, with sessions conducted in English.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Renee works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present-day coping and behavior change. One common approach she uses helps people learn concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing reactivity - this is practical skill training to notice triggers and practice alternative responses. Another approach emphasizes communication and relationship skills, which helps people say what they need without escalating into conflict.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Renee collaborates with each person to identify what feels most useful, sets clear goals, and adjusts methods based on what actually helps. She checks progress regularly and shifts focus when a different technique would be more helpful.

If you’re considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during the workday, or let someone join from a different time zone. Discuss format preferences and practical needs when you schedule so session structure fits your routine.
