Renée Thompson

Renée Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and relationship struggles. She supports clients facing parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, sleep and eating concerns, career worries, ADHD, and major life changes. Renée emphasizes practical steps that lead to change and clearer day-to-day functioning.

Her style centers on the client's strengths and resilience. She listens without judgment and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions move at the client’s pace while practicing new skills that can be used right away.

Renée uses a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotion-focused methods, mindfulness, and dialectical behavior strategies. She aims to help people increase self-awareness, consider new perspectives, and try different ways of coping when old patterns no longer work.

With more than 21 years of counseling experience and an LCSW in Florida since 2009, Renée has a background that includes grief and end-of-life care. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with loss, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and related issues. She is practical and direct while remaining compassionate.

People who choose Renée typically want focused, action-oriented sessions that still honor emotion and meaning. She invites clients to practice small changes between sessions and works toward measurable improvements in daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Renée often combines client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral therapy and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work means the conversation begins with the person’s priorities and builds on their strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy provides skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping in stressful moments.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try different tools, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That way the fit between method and need is tested and refined together rather than assumed up front.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, shorten commute time, or make it easier to check in during a work break. Online work can also allow focused skill practice and homework between sessions, which complements the CBT and DBT techniques Renée uses.
