About Renee
Renee Lafriniere is a licensed therapist who helps people facing anxiety and other common life stresses. She offers calm, practical support for worries that feel overwhelming. Her style is straightforward and focused on real-life problems rather than jargon.
Renee draws on 25 years of experience to guide conversations about depression, relationships, grief, career shifts, addictions, and parenting concerns. She also addresses mood disorders, coping with major life changes, and the strain that comes from caregiving or compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to multicultural concerns and issues that come with aging and end-of-life transitions. In sessions she listens closely and centers each person’s priorities. Renee blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions.
That mix is helpful when someone wants both emotional support and concrete tools to manage symptoms. She has been licensed to practice in Florida as an LMHC and also holds an LPCC credential. Renee aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life, focusing on communication skills, reducing isolation, and rebuilding routines that support wellbeing.
People seeking a collaborative therapist will find a steady presence and a pragmatic approach. Renee helps clients sort out goals, build coping skills, and figure out next steps. Her sessions emphasize understanding, skill-building, and moving toward a clearer sense of purpose.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings, relationship struggles, grief, or questions about life purpose.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers practical exercises and small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address patterns like avoidance or unhelpful thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying CBT skills while keeping a client-centered focus on what matters most to the person.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier and therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, short check-ins work well over text, and live chat can fit quick updates between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity across work, caregiving, or travel.
