About Renée

Renée Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 21 years of counseling experience.

Background and approach

She supports people managing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, depression, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career stress, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Her practice also addresses a wide range of related concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, body image, cancer-related challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, codependency, communication and control issues, responses to disaster, dependent personality traits, and divorce and separation.

Her approach emphasizes strengths, resilience, and collaboration. She frames clients as experts on their own lives and uses evidence-informed methods to increase self-awareness, build coping skills, and practice new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Renée integrates client-centered listening with cognitive and behavioral techniques, emotion-focused strategies, mindfulness practices, narrative work, and skills taught in dialectical behavior therapy to help clients make meaningful changes within a practical timeframe. Renée brings clinical training and long-term experience working with hospice and palliative care patients, children, couples, and families.

She offers empathy, nonjudgmental support, and professional perspective while helping clients identify goals and experiment with new patterns that promote purpose, connection, and improved daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Renée commonly blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to meet practical goals. Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the client’s own insights so they feel heard and understood; this approach helps when someone needs space to explore values, identity, or complicated emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers concrete strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating issues, and many daily stressors. Dialectical behavior therapy contributes skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to manage strong emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right blend of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, test methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative stance helps tailor interventions to a client’s needs, preferences, and pace rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. These formats allow regular check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and continuity of care across changing schedules, making it easier to engage in therapy consistently while fitting into everyday life.
