About Rene
Rene Morago-Barton is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Rene talks plainly and helps clients set simple goals they can act on between sessions.
She blends several approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills help with intense emotions and mood instability. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods guide conversations about relationships and trust.
Rene has eight years of clinical experience in agency, inpatient, and private practice settings. That variety shaped a flexible style that fits different life stages and problems. She has worked with people who struggle with grief, substance use, trauma history, low self-esteem, and racing thoughts.
The practice also addresses parenting and blended family concerns and supports people dealing with caregiver stress, codependency, and major life changes. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills that make day-to-day life easier.
Rene prefers a collaborative, goal-focused pace. She invites clients to identify small steps and to track progress between visits. This approach keeps therapy practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them. It helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed and want practical ways to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches clear strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding relationship patterns and how early connections affect current bonds; it can help with trust, communication, and codependency concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rene will discuss your goals and preferences and help choose or combine methods that feel like a good fit. That collaboration helps build a plan you can try between sessions and adjust over time.
