Rene Jourdan , LCPC

Rene Jourdan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who uses a blend of practical therapy styles to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. She works with adults and brings 11 years of clinical experience to sessions. Rene focuses on helping people develop coping skills and make changes that fit their daily lives.

Her approach mixes client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas. Sessions often include talking through patterns, practicing new ways to respond to difficult feelings, and setting small, achievable goals. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current behavior.

Rene has worked extensively in crisis services and substance use disorder programs in Idaho. She has run group and individual addiction treatment and helped design family and peer support programs. This background means she often blends individual talk work with structured skill-building exercises.

People seeing Rene can expect straightforward sessions that focus on practical steps. She offers group options and has led coping skills and mental health processing groups. Rene aims to help people feel more capable managing daily stressors and bigger life changes.

Her practice also addresses trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, ADHD, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. Rene accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English for people located both in and outside Idaho.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with cravings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions, and it supports work on intimacy, trust, and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the client's goals and preferences, then suggest and try methods that fit. Those decisions are collaborative and may shift as progress is made or new needs appear.

Online therapy with Rene is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone calls can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text works well for shorter check-ins, step-by-step skill practice, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to continue work between meetings.
