About Rene
Rene Jourdan, LCPC, offers a grounded, person-centered approach to therapy. She focuses on meeting adults where they are and helping them move toward the life they want. Her style is direct and compassionate, with practical steps to manage symptoms and rebuild daily functioning.
Rene draws on acceptance and commitment ideas alongside cognitive behavior strategies to help people change unhelpful patterns.

With 11 years of experience, Rene has worked extensively in crisis services in North Idaho and has helped adults facing suicide ideation, self-harm, addiction, and co-occurring conditions. She has managed programs for substance use disorder treatment and supervised family and peer support efforts. That background informs her work with people coping with trauma, grief, codependency, and major life changes.
Rene has led therapeutic groups such as coping skills workshops, basic mental health processing groups, and the Matrix Model of addiction. She brings that group experience into individual work when it fits the client's goals. Her approach emphasizes clear goals, skills practice, and steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Rene blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect trust, closeness, and communication today. It can be useful for people struggling with intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and codependency. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and listening so the person feels understood and can find their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can shift as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for more consistent check-ins between work or family obligations. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they use guided exercises, behavioral experiments, or skills practice that can be done outside the session.
