More about Renee

20 years' experience
Female
LPC

As a licensed therapist in Arizona, I bring over two decades of compassionate, specialized experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating affirming, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, trauma survivors, and those navigating significant life transitions.

I specialize in addressing diverse experiences including chronic illness, grief, relationship dynamics, workplace stress, and personal growth. My approach is deeply empathetic, focusing on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and work through challenging emotions like guilt, shame, and panic.

With expertise in trauma-informed care, I support clients through various experiences—from trauma recovery to postpartum challenges, chronic illness, and life stage transitions. I'm particularly committed to working with young adults, women, and LGBTQ+ communities, offering a non-judgmental, supportive therapeutic environment.

My therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration, personal empowerment, and holistic healing. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients develop resilience, understand their unique strengths, and create meaningful pathways toward emotional wellness.

About online counseling

Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
