About Renee
Renee Lewis is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings decades of clinical work to each session. She has practiced in California for over 40 years and focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, stress, or anxiety. Renee speaks English and uses straightforward language clients can understand.
She offers a calm, respectful approach and adapts conversations to what each person needs in the moment. Sessions are shaped around clear goals and steps you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her work often centers on relationship concerns, grief, trauma, mood struggles such as depression or bipolar patterns, and attention or focus difficulties like ADHD. Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build more effective habits. She also addresses communication problems, workplace stress, parenting strain, and issues that come up after separation or infidelity.
Seasonal mood changes and compassion fatigue are additional areas she supports. People meet with her to sort through sleep struggles, anger, low self-esteem, and career crossroads as well as to process post-traumatic stress and abuse. Her style is practical and compassionate, aiming for steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Renee works with people across many life stages to help them manage symptoms and rebuild routines. She tailors plans to each person’s goals and encourages small, manageable steps toward change.
How Renee Uses CBT Online and What to Expect
Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes you can try between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.The choice of approach is part of the work together. Renee will talk through your goals, preferences, and daily constraints and help decide whether CBT is the best fit or if adjustments are needed. This collaborative process helps tailor techniques to real-life problems like communication breakdowns, workplace stress, or coping after loss.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so therapy can fit a busy life. Video calls let you work face to face; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coping tools, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and to try practical homework between meetings.
