About Renee

Renee Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on supporting people through stressful and painful times. She works with individuals who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addictions, and life transitions. Renee aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can find relief and regain control.

With two decades of experience in mental health, Renee draws on several therapy methods to match each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also brings in acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take committed actions despite difficult feelings.

Renee favors a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative style. Sessions are a place to talk through what really matters, try new ways of coping, and practice skills that fit everyday life. She pays attention to how attachment and relationships shape present difficulties.

Her work covers many concerns beyond core mood and anxiety issues, including parenting strain, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and attention differences. She helps people address compassion fatigue, career stress, and intimacy-related worries as well.

Renee offers sessions in English and provides several online formats so therapy can fit different schedules. People who prefer a structured skills focus or a more reflective, person-centered conversation can explore both approaches with her.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often includes simple exercises and homework that translate well to video or text-based formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, symptoms, and day-to-day needs. She adapts techniques as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions, handle short questions, or do brief coaching-style work without scheduling a full call.
