Renee Rhoades, LCSW, CSW

Renee Rhoades is a Colorado-licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of professional experience supporting adults through challenging life moments. She holds the credentials LCSW and CSW - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW denotes a clinical social work credential - and she draws on that training to help clients find practical, compassionate ways forward.

Renee has particular experience addressing stress and anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, family conflicts, and coping with grief and loss. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, listening closely to understand what matters most to them and tailoring conversation and treatment plans to match each individual’s needs and goals.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Renee acknowledges that first step while creating a supportive space for growth. Her work emphasizes collaboration and personalization, helping clients identify realistic strategies and insights that fit their life circumstances and move them toward meaningful change.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Renee Rhoades uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical coping skills and relational understanding. One approach focuses on skills-based strategies to manage stress and anxiety, teaching concrete tools for breathing, pacing, and problem-solving to reduce immediate distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Another emphasis is trauma-aware and relationship-focused work, which helps clients explore how past experiences affect current relationships and supports rebuilding trust, communication, and intimacy where needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Renee collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make working with a licensed professional more flexible and accessible. These formats allow clients to choose how and when to connect, fitting therapy into busy schedules, managing distance or mobility limits, and maintaining continuity of care during life transitions.
