I came to BetterHelp when I had just experienced a romantic breakup, and four or more friend breakups all during pandemic. I wanted perspective from a licensed pro on what I had done that led to this moment, and how to learn and improve from it. Renee was a kind and supportive presence throughout all of my word vomit and ramblings, and was complimentary about how I had decided to seek help. She was patient and a calm, grounding force. She was available at the outset twice a week at times, and always responsive on text messages. Everyone’s situation is different. But you can expect a kind ear and complimentary voice from her. She was the first therapist I tried, and I don’t know what it would be like to work with another. But I’m satisfied with my care at the moment, as my therapy was based on a single event and discussing it.

More about me
Licensing: LCSW-C, MSW Years in Practice: 10 State: Maryland
Greetings!
My name is Renee Shacochis and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) in the state of Maryland. I graduated with my Masters of Social Work, (concentration in Clinical Mental Health), from the University of Maryland-Baltimore in 2011. Throughout the last 10 years of my professional experience, I've been providing individual, family, and group therapy services to adults, families, and children from a variety of different backgrounds. Much of my experience has been working with clients who are seeking help with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, adjustment issues, parenting struggles, relationship problems and communication challenges.
I believe that through our challenging life experiences, we ALL can grow by increasing our self-awareness and insight. I value treating every individual with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I believe that building a strong rapport and therapeutic alliance is an essential part of having successful outcomes in therapy. My approach to therapy is client-centered and strengths based. When developing goals and interventions for counseling I may draw on a variety of clinical treatment modalities, however always guided by each person’s unique and specific needs.
I am currently offering messaging, live chat, and phone sessions on a case by case basis. Please note that I may have some scheduling flexibility in addition to the availability reflected in my calendar. You are welcome to reach out through messaging if you would like to explore additional options that may be more convenient for you.
Whether this is your first experience seeking therapy, or if you have participated in therapy before, please know that I am committed to approaching our work together at a pace that is productive and comfortable for you. I would be honored to support you through whatever life challenges you are currently facing, and I look forward to hearing from you!
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
