Renée Thompson

Renée Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and career concerns. She works with adults who struggle with self-esteem, relationships, family issues, intimacy, sleep and eating concerns, anger, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Renée draws on a practical, strengths-focused approach to help people make steady progress toward the life they want.

She keeps sessions focused on real change. Renée partners with clients to identify core problems and practice new skills. She emphasizes everyday routines, small behavior changes, and clear strategies people can use between meetings. The aim is to help clients increase self-awareness, tap into resilience, and try different ways of coping.

Renée brings 21 years of counseling experience and has been a Florida LCSW since 2009. Her background includes extensive work with grief and loss, hospice and palliative care, and long experience supporting parents and people affected by adoption and blended family situations. She helped establish a local chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention after a personal loss to suicide.

Her style is open-minded and nonjudgmental. She offers calm, practical guidance and encourages honest conversation about hard topics. Renée often suggests experiments clients can try between sessions to test new approaches.

If a straightforward, skills-based approach appeals to you, she helps people build momentum and make meaningful change during therapy.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and strengths. The therapist listens closely and mirrors concerns so people can make decisions that fit their life. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting values, identity, and direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking and behavior patterns. It helps people test and shift unhelpful thoughts and try new actions to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage stress. CBT often uses specific exercises and short experiments between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes practical tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clear communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then recommend methods that match those needs. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust techniques together as work continues.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, save travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use the approaches above to guide focused skill practice and problem-solving in ways that fit everyday life.
