About Renée
Renée Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, and codependency concerns. She also supports those dealing with depression, self-esteem struggles, sleep or eating problems, anger, career worries, ADHD, and major life changes. Renée speaks plain language and offers steady, practical help rather than jargon. She aims to get to the root of problems and help people make real, everyday changes.
Her style centers on strengths and resilience. She treats each person as the expert on their life and works together with them to try new ways of thinking and coping. Sessions include gentle challenge, encouragement, and practical strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She emphasizes small, repeatable steps people can use between meetings.
Renée draws on more than two decades of counseling experience and has been a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2009. That background includes long work with hospice and palliative care patients, grief and loss, and supporting people after suicide loss. She has also worked with children and caregivers in various settings since the early 2000s.
In therapy she focuses on helping clients increase self-awareness, tap inner strengths, and try different perspectives. She is open-minded and non-judgmental, and she offers practical suggestions alongside emotional support. Her goal is to help people find greater meaning, purpose, and peace in a relatively short time.

How Renée uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist offers empathy, reflection, and support to help people explore their own goals and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress through clear, stepwise techniques.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, day-to-day challenges, and what they prefer. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed over time, so the process stays collaborative and responsive.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during short breaks or between errands. It can also let people use less-visible check-ins when a quick update is needed, or choose sessions that do not require video if that better suits their needs. These practical benefits often help people maintain steady progress while balancing other responsibilities.
