About Renee
Renee Rhoades is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado with 18 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and anger. Renee also supports people facing addiction, depression, LGBT-related concerns, and major life changes.
She keeps conversations direct and practical. Sessions focus on understanding the patterns that lead to anger and frustration. Renee helps clients notice what happens before, during, and after heated moments so they can choose different responses.
Her approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques into straightforward work. She uses clear goals and steps rather than vague promises. Expect conversations about behavior, communication skills, boundary-setting, and coping strategies you can try between sessions.
Renee draws on nearly two decades of clinical experience in Colorado. Her background includes work with grief, trauma, caregiver stress, and identity-related challenges. That experience informs how she helps people manage emotional ups and downs and relationship tensions.
She asks practical questions early on to match the work to each person’s life. That might mean short skill-building exercises, role-play to practice a new response, or planning for stressful situations at work or home. The emphasis is on what to do differently outside the therapy hour.
People who prefer straightforward, skill-focused sessions may find this approach useful. Renee offers work aimed at reducing reactivity, improving communication, and building steady coping methods for daily life.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Renee uses evidence-informed techniques that focus on behavior change and skills practice. One common approach is developing concrete coping strategies for stress and anger, which involves identifying triggers, practicing alternative responses, and building short action plans for real situations. This helps when anger shows up at work or in personal relationships.Another approach centers on communication skills and problem solving. That work teaches clear ways to state needs, set boundaries, and de-escalate tense conversations. It is useful for improving interactions and reducing repeated conflict patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That collaboration includes trying techniques in session and adapting them based on what actually helps.
