Renee Rhoades, LCSW, CSW

Renee Rhoades, LCSW, CSW, holds a Colorado clinical social work license and has 18 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, addiction issues, LGBT-related matters, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and works with clients to address communication, anger, self-esteem, career transition, and compassion fatigue.

Renee frames sessions as practical conversations. She listens for what feels most pressing. She then adapts the session topics and goals to the person's situation. She emphasizes concrete skills and clearer communication rather than abstract labels.

Her background includes long-term clinical work in Colorado settings. That experience informs how she helps people manage recurring stress and mood concerns. She draws on methods that focus on present-day coping and problem solving.

Renee also addresses complex concerns such as trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, grief after loss, and issues related to chronic illness. She works with people on relationship patterns, commitment worries, boundaries, and attachment difficulties. She can support those navigating kink, BDSM, and alternative sexual culture when those topics are relevant.

She supports people dealing with caregiving strain, blended family challenges, body image distress, and aging-related issues. Her practice attends to both emotional symptoms and everyday tasks like communication and planning. The emphasis stays on practical steps that fit into a person’s daily life.

To begin, a client completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session. Renee uses that first meeting to agree on goals and plan the next steps.
