About Renee

Renee Shacochis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (MD, LCSW-C) based in Maryland who works with adults, families, and children across a range of life challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings a decade of clinical experience to her practice and emphasizes respectful, compassionate care while helping clients increase self-awareness and insight to navigate change. Her style is client-centered and strengths-based, with an emphasis on building a strong therapeutic alliance as the foundation for meaningful progress.

Renee tailors goals and interventions to each person’s needs, drawing from evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and narrative perspectives. She has provided individual, family, and group therapy in diverse settings and aims to move at a pace that feels productive and comfortable for each client.

Renee offers flexible online formats including messaging, live chat, phone sessions, and video calls when available, and notes some additional scheduling flexibility beyond what appears on her calendar. Prospective clients are encouraged to reach out to discuss options and determine whether her approach aligns with their needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Renee commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and stress regulation skills to help people respond more calmly to emotional triggers and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be shaped collaboratively. She begins by listening to each client's goals, preferences, and challenges, then tailors a combination of strategies that feel most appropriate and manageable for the individual.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or busy days and allow clients to engage in therapy in formats that suit their comfort and practical needs.
