About Rene
Rene Elsbury is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem, and career questions.
Rene focuses on helping people sort through practical problems and emotional pain. She listens for what is causing daily strain and helps clients build skills to manage it. Sessions include conversations about family of origin issues, communication problems, and coping with life changes.
Her work draws on client-centered therapy and evidence-based methods to guide short-term skill building and longer-term healing. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior strategies to manage strong emotions. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness practices are brought in when trauma or persistent distress are part of the picture.
Rene helps people address more specific concerns such as abandonment, body image, self-harm, sexual assault recovery, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports those dealing with medical challenges like cancer and people juggling co-occurring mental health issues.
The sessions aim to be practical. Conversations result in concrete strategies for communication, impulse control, and day-to-day coping. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard while they work through practical problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches specific exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and daily stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. It is useful when strong reactions or impulsivity make relationships and work harder to manage.
Rene treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels workable in their life. Together they pick strategies and adjust them as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins between appointments. Talk with Rene during the matching process about timing and how you prefer to work so sessions fit into your everyday routine.
