Renee Guerrieri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of counseling experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at making small changes that help day to day.

Renee earned a Master of Social Work from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1997 and holds an LCSW in Florida. Over nearly three decades she has worked with a wide range of clients and has particular experience addressing grief and loss, parenting concerns, and adjustment after major life events.

Her work emphasizes short-term, solution-focused care grounded in evidence-based methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy techniques along with client-centered and emotion-focused ideas. Sessions often include learning communication skills, fair-fighting strategies for intimate relationships, trust rebuilding, and practical coping tools.

Renee has spent the last 18 years working with active duty military members, Veterans, and their families, which has given her a detailed understanding of common stresses that group faces. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs and welcomes questions about specific concerns or requests.

Her style is respectful and supportive, offering clear guidance and actionable steps. She encourages people to take the first step and will refer to other providers when a different skill set is needed.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can be useful for life transitions, grief, and finding purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavioral changes, which is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and coping with change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying emotional patterns in close relationships and practicing new ways of responding to strengthen connection and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, EFT, or a mixture is the best fit and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing commute time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It also lets people use exercises and homework in their real routines, so skills get practiced between meetings. Licensed professionals can guide scheduling and format choices to match practical needs and personal comfort.
