Renee Capanna, LCSW, LISW

Renee Capanna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on common, everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with self-esteem. She also works with people dealing with trauma, eating and food-related issues, addiction challenges, and major life changes.

Renee uses straightforward, person-focused methods. She treats the client as the expert on their own life and helps them draw on existing strengths. Sessions are a place to talk through practical problems, build skills, and plan steps that fit daily life. She draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies to shape conversations and tasks between sessions.

Her practice also includes existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning, values, and patterns that repeat across relationships. Hypnotherapy is part of the toolkit for people who are open to guided imagery and focused suggestion as a way to address habits or emotional blocks. These approaches are used to match what a person needs, rather than as a single fixed method.

Renee has helped people with relationship and communication problems, caregiving stress, family of origin issues, and concerns linked to abandonment or attachment. She also assists with career and coaching-related questions when people want clearer goals or motivation.

People who choose her work should expect direct, practical conversation and collaborative planning. She helps identify small changes that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
