About Rene
He keeps sessions client-centered, meaning the person in therapy guides what gets discussed. Rene focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken honestly. He emphasizes practical support and empowerment rather than imposing a fixed agenda.
Rene has particular experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. He also addresses struggles with addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem challenges. His additional focus areas include body image, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and social anxiety.
In sessions he works collaboratively to identify small, achievable goals. Conversations may cover coping skills, managing strong emotions, improving communication, or navigating life changes like career shifts or loss. Rene draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs.
He practices in Florida and offers therapy in English. Rene welcomes international clients and aims to adapt care to individual circumstances and schedules. To begin, clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Rene works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on problem solving and emotional regulation. These approaches teach practical skills for managing anxiety, panic attacks, and stress, and they help people notice patterns that keep them stuck.He also uses trauma-informed methods to help people process difficult experiences at a manageable pace. This work often involves grounding strategies, pacing, and ways to reduce the intensity of distressing memories or reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That way the work stays focused on real-life needs and preferences rather than fitting a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins during a workday. It can also let someone participate without needing to be on camera for every visit, or choose a lower-bandwidth option if internet conditions vary.
