Background and approach
Her background includes more than a decade working in mental health in Idaho. Rene spent over five years contributing to crisis services through the North Idaho Crisis Line. That work gave her a lot of experience with people in urgent distress and with suicide ideation and self-harm concerns.
Rene has led and supervised programs for family and peer support, and for adult and adolescent substance use treatment. She currently manages a substance use disorder program and runs both group and individual addiction treatment sessions.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. In practical terms ACT offers short exercises that build willingness to face difficult thoughts while staying focused on small, meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It often uses brief worksheets, thought records, and behavior experiments that adapt well to online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice interaction habits and try different ways of relating to reduce conflict and improve connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about current struggles, goals, and preferences. Then she will suggest methods to try and adjust them as progress or challenges appear. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations similar to office sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone share brief updates, get coaching between sessions, or work through skills in writing. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to continue work when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier.
