Renee Lewis , LMFT

Renee Lewis is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with over four decades of experience. She draws on 42 years of clinical work to help people who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma, depression, anxiety, and the everyday pressures of life. Renee speaks English and uses straightforward, practical language in sessions.

She focuses on problems such as attention and focus concerns like ADHD, grief, sleeping difficulties, and the emotional fallout from workplace stress. Renee also supports people facing issues around communication, separation, infidelity, and seasonally driven mood changes. Women’s issues are listed among her areas of focus and are woven into her broader work with relationship and life transitions.

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means sessions include identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of reacting. The goal is to find small changes that make day-to-day life easier. She adapts conversation and plans to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script.

Her approach is warm and respectful. People can expect direct talk, practical steps, and an emphasis on skills they can use between sessions. Renee encourages clients to set clear goals and checks in on progress as therapy continues.

Starting therapy is often hard, and Renee aims to make the process manageable. She helps people clarify priorities, practice new communication habits, and build routines that support better sleep, mood, and focus.

How Renee Uses CBT Online and What to Expect

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses. CBT sessions often include setting small goals, practicing new skills between meetings, and problem-solving for issues like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee works with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That means the work is tailored over time rather than fixed at the start.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send messages between sessions or choose a format that feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
