01 · Who Renee works with

Renee works with stress, Anxiety, LGBT and anger management

Renee lists 18 specialisms and 49 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Renee chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Renee's own words

What Renee says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia with over 18 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, LGBTQIA+–related issues, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also have experience supporting individuals with special needs and those living with severe mental illness.

I believe each person is the author of their own story and possesses the capacity to create meaningful change. My role is to help you identify and build upon your strengths while supporting you in addressing the challenges and burdens you may be carrying. Every journey begins with a first step, and I would be honored to support you as you move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

03 · How Renee works

The 2 approaches Renee lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Renee lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Renee's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Renee runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Dialectical Behaviour TherapyDBT

A structured skills-led adaptation of CBT built around holding two things at once: accepting yourself as you are and working to change. Teaches concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation and relationships. Developed for people whose feelings arrive at overwhelming intensity, and strongest-evidenced there.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Renee practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Renee's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Renee at this point.

2. Naming Renee specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Renee is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Renee.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Renee

Built from what Renee actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Renee's - Renee has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “With 18 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Renee's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Renee. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
