About Renee
Renee Marter is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing addiction, trauma, mood disorders, and parenting stress.

Sessions are meant to help people find clearer coping tools and better communication skills.
Renee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address things like anxiety, bipolar symptoms, and recovery from abuse. She guides people through small, manageable steps so progress feels steady rather than overwhelming. Work often includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors in daily life.

Approaches that change thoughts and daily habits
Renee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, habits, and practical skills. One common approach helps people recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more useful thoughts to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach centers on building everyday coping skills and routines to support recovery from addiction and manage mood instability.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Renee works with each person to identify goals, test techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. She values small experiments in daily life so people can see what works between sessions and bring that learning back to therapy.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions can happen around work or caregiving duties. A therapist can also recommend which techniques translate well to remote work and which may need in-person supports, helping tailor the plan to each persons needs and preferences.
