About Rene
Rene blends several evidence-based methods to match what each person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and actions. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationships, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and coping.
Over 11 years Rene has worked across crisis response, addiction treatment, and group programming. She spent more than five years providing crisis services through the North Idaho Crisis Line and has managed substance use disorder programs. That background informs how she supports people facing suicidal thinking, self-harm, and co-occurring diagnoses.
She runs both individual and group work, including coping skills groups and structured addiction groups like the Matrix Model. Rene also has experience supervising family and peer support programs and adolescent and adult substance abuse services. These roles shaped a practical focus on what helps between sessions.
Rene practices in Idaho and works with English-speaking clients. She accepts international clients through the platform. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options to match needs.

Step 3
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and helping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rene will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She starts with what matters to the client and adjusts strategies as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow participation from different locations. Shorter check-ins, scheduled breaks around work, or using audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited are practical ways people adapt remote care to their routines.
