About Rene
Rene Liberty is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington.

Rene listens first and asks questions that help people see what matters to them next. She uses that information to shape conversations and goals together. Sessions are aimed at identifying barriers and working step by step to lower them so daily life feels more manageable.
Her style rests on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She adapts the tone and pace of sessions to each person’s needs. That can mean practical problem solving one week and deeper personal reflection the next.

People come to Rene for help with a wide range of concerns, including long-term health conditions, caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment worries, and issues related to sexual expression and kink.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead to clarify values and goals. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort emotions and make decisions. Solution-focused therapy is shorter-term and goal oriented, working on small steps that can change daily routines and ease stress. Motivational interviewing helps people notice their own reasons for change and builds motivation for things like substance use, health habits, or life transitions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can fit more easily into busy schedules, letting sessions happen without travel and making it simpler to keep regular appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or conversations without being on camera if someone prefers. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to pick a format and schedule that match everyday life and goals.
