Renee Rhoades, LCSW, CSW

Renee Rhoades is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She greets each person with sensitivity and respect, and aims to make the first steps toward therapy feel manageable and clear.

Renee uses a practical, personalized approach. Sessions focus on concrete strategies and honest conversation. She adapts discussion and plans to what each person needs in the moment rather than using one-size-fits-all methods.

With 18 years of experience, Renee has worked with people dealing with depression, relationship struggles, addiction, trauma, and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports those coping with parenting challenges, career stress, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness issues.

Her work often addresses deeper themes such as attachment and abandonment, body image, blended family dynamics, and commitment or intimacy concerns. Renee brings steady guidance to people navigating aging or caregiving responsibilities and those balancing co-occurring conditions like bipolar disorder or chronic pain.

Renee is licensed to practice in Colorado as an LCSW and also holds a CSW credential. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients, helping people around the world connect with therapeutic support.

To begin, she encourages prospective clients to take the first step and complete a simple matching questionnaire. From there, scheduling aligns with therapist availability so work can begin at a practical pace.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Renee draws on common evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in straightforward ways. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression, using practical exercises and step-by-step planning. Another approach centers on processing grief and trauma through paced discussion and coping skills to help people regain daily functioning.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. Renee will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From that conversation she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep regular momentum between appointments. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and flexible scheduling that can better match work or caregiving demands.
