About Renee

Renee Joyce is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Colorado with 13 years of experience. She welcomes adults ready to understand themselves better and manage life’s stressors. Renee aims to help people begin feeling relief from the first visit.

Renee often supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, and depression. She helps those processing trauma, grief, and identity questions. She also addresses relationship concerns, including romantic and family interactions, and works with clients around intimacy-related issues and communication problems.

Renee uses a strength-based, solution-focused style. Sessions are collaborative and active. Together with each client she identifies barriers and builds practical steps toward change.

She draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Gottman Method. These methods are applied to concerns like trauma, mood, neurodivergence, parenting, and relationship dynamics.

Some people meet short-term goals in about 4 to 12 sessions. Others continue longer to work on deeper trauma recovery or identity development. Renee emphasizes purposeful sessions that focus on tangible progress and skills for everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice connection habits and try new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve closeness. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. In remote sessions clients learn and practice these skills with coaching and guided exercises. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge; clinicians adapt protocols for talk-based and guided processing online when appropriate.

Choosing an approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. That collaborative process helps make sure the work feels relevant and useful from the start.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or parenting, fewer commute hassles, and the ability to use session time for focused skill practice. Please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are available. The goal is to fit therapy into everyday life in a way that supports progress and well-being.
