About Renee

Renee Avis brings a client-centered, evidence-informed approach to therapy, blending acceptance, mindfulness, and cognitive strategies to help people navigate stress, anxiety, eating concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She is identified as Renee Avis and holds the LCMHC credential in North Carolina, with 20 years of experience across multiple treatment settings. Her style emphasizes meeting clients where they are and building a trusting, comfortable space for exploration and growth.

Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, disordered eating and body image concerns, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to career and self-esteem. Renee also addresses related areas such as guilt and shame, life purpose, seasonal mood changes, communication problems, and issues faced by young adults and women.

She combines proven techniques like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices to tailor care to each person’s needs. Renee aims to partner with clients to clarify goals and discover practical ways to move forward, whether that means developing coping skills, shifting unhelpful patterns, or exploring values and motivation.

She welcomes those ready to start a therapeutic process and supports changes at a steady, individualized pace.

Integrating acceptance, skills, and mindfulness in online therapy

Renee often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and commit to actions that build a meaningful life. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and difficulty with motivation or life transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, mood concerns, and patterns around eating and body image. CBT provides concrete strategies for change alongside exploration of underlying beliefs.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting techniques over time to find the best combination for progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they allow sessions and brief check-ins to be integrated into everyday life.
