Renette Herrera

Renette Herrera is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 13 years of experience. She works directly with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and anger. She also supports parents and individuals coping with relationship strain, grief, mood concerns, ADHD, and trauma-related issues.

Her style is warm and interactive. She aims to meet clients where they are and to treat everyone with respect and compassion. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than long lectures.

Renette draws from several approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. She blends methods to fit each person’s needs and goals. That means a plan that might include new coping skills, values-based goal work, and ways to shift unhelpful thoughts.

In session she listens for what matters most and helps people try concrete tools between meetings. She encourages small changes that build confidence and reduce overwhelm over time. The work is collaborative - client and therapist set priorities together.

Renette emphasizes creating a space for difficult conversations so people feel heard. She thanks clients for taking the step to reach out and aims to support them in building a more peaceful, joyful life.

How Renette brings therapy online with evidence-based approaches

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying practical strategies to change them, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Renette works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaboration helps shape what gets tried in sessions and what homework or practice makes sense between meetings.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can let someone attend without travel time. Renette uses her clinical approaches to help people learn skills, manage urges, and practice new ways of relating regardless of where sessions take place.
