About Renée
Renée Thompson, LCSW, focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and money-related stress among other life challenges. She speaks plainly and offers steady support while helping people name problems and practice new ways of coping. She invites clients to try small changes that add up to real improvement in day-to-day life.
Renée uses a strengths-based outlook that treats the client as the expert on their life. She helps people notice patterns, try different responses, and build habits that match their goals. Sessions often include practicing new skills, talking through painful feelings, and planning realistic steps forward.
With 21 years of clinical work, Renée has experience across hospice and palliative care, grief and loss including suicide bereavement, caregiving stress, and long-term counseling with children and adults. She draws on that breadth when a situation involves medical illness, end-of-life questions, or complicated loss.
Her clinical approaches include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness practices. Renée explains tools in simple terms and shows how to use them between sessions.
Renée is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. She works in English and does not take international clients. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session so they can get started on practical steps toward change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy means listening first and following the client’s lead. In practice she focuses on what matters most to the person and helps them set achievable goals that fit their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She teaches simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts, try different actions, and measure what changes over time.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. When emotions feel overwhelming, DBT techniques give step-by-step ways to calm down and communicate more clearly.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and make it simpler to practice skills between sessions. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Renée will help tailor a plan that fits routines and goals.
