- LCMHC
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. I have over 13 years of experience working as a counselor and over 18 years of experience as a social worker. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, parenting issues, ADHD, relationship issues, career difficulties, grief, loss, and bereavement.
Whether you just need someone to talk to or need assistance with a specific problem or concern, we can work together to meet your needs. My goal is to establish a therapeutic relationship that is not only respectful and compassionate, but also productive and enlightening. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and psychoeducational therapy. We will work together to explore problems and concerns, and develop goals to address those problems.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very Understanding, great listener, ask great questions and gives you tools and goals to help you with your therapy
Renee is a great listener and asks thoughtful questions that have helped formulate what I need in my future relationships. I feel comfortable and safe in our appointments, she has been a tremendous help.
Renee was prompt, attentive, thoughtful, and professional. She was easy to get to know, always made me feel comfortable, non judgmental, and an excellent listener. Her delivery was genuine, and skill set appropriate and helpful.
When I first sought therapy with Better Help, I had gone through a series of rejections in my job search. My confidence and motivation had plummeted. Renee's support has been consistent and comforting for me, and she has helped me to see that my inherent traits and experiences that I perceived as handicaps were actually strengths that I can own (and in some cases even showcase to prospective employers). She also believes in me consistently, which is important especially when I feel burnt out and start to doubt that I'm on the right path!
She is really helping me on this journey of healing. I am very glad to have her!
