About Renée
Renée Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem and depression. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career changes, and coping with life transitions.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She centers sessions on the client's strengths and resilience. She listens, offers professional perspective, and proposes ways to try new behaviours and ways of thinking. Sessions focus on increasing self-awareness and building everyday coping skills.
Renée uses a mix of commonly used therapeutic methods to match each person's needs. She draws on client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral ideas to identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and elements of mindfulness to help regulate emotion and manage stress.
Her background includes long experience with grief and loss, including loss to suicide, and a decade working with hospice and palliative care patients and their families. She has worked with children since 2002 and has supported people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and aging concerns.
Renée will work with practical life problems like financial strain, work stress, and family communication. She encourages short-term progress while also addressing deeper patterns that recur over time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How Renée applies therapeutic approaches online
Renée commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered work means listening closely to what matters to the person and helping them set goals. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, or difficulties in relationships.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and strong reactions are getting in the way. These skills teach toleration, grounding, and practical steps to manage intense feelings, which can help with anger, relationship conflict, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That selection can change over time as goals shift and progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biographical information, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing commuting time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every session. Licensed professionals adapt tools and exercises for remote meetings so that practical skills can be practiced between sessions.
