About Renée
She draws on more than 21 years of counseling experience and has been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida since 2009. Renée focuses on strengths and resilience, treating each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions emphasize practical steps - identifying patterns, practicing small changes, and building new coping skills that can be used day to day.
Renée has significant experience supporting people through grief and loss, including suicide loss, and has worked with hospice and palliative care patients and their families. She has also provided counseling to children and college students across her career. Her background includes leadership with a local chapter of a national suicide prevention nonprofit.
Her style is open-minded, empathic, and nonjudgmental. She offers clear perspectives and concrete options when people feel stuck. Renée encourages short-term progress while also exploring deeper sources of concern when needed.
If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and people should confirm current session options before booking.
Online approaches that focus on change and coping
Renée uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's lead, offering empathy and support while clients describe what matters most to them. This approach helps people build insight and trust in their own choices and goals.She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what the client finds helpful. This collaborative process helps match methods to needs and preferences over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make therapy fit into busy lives by reducing travel, allowing quicker check-ins, and offering sessions at times that better match daily schedules. It can also make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life problems into conversation during appointments.
