About Renee

Renee Lafriniere is a licensed mental health clinician who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and other complex life challenges.

Background and approach

With 25 years of professional experience, she draws on a mix of practical strategies and empathic listening to guide clients through emotional shifts, relationship concerns, career questions, and coping with life changes.

Her practice blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral tools, which allows her to tailor sessions to each person’s needs while offering concrete techniques for managing mood, thoughts, and behavior. She also attends to issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, and pervasive feelings like guilt or isolation.

Renee brings attention to life-stage topics including aging, hospice and end-of-life matters, and postpartum or seasonal mood concerns. Based in Florida and licensed as an LMHC and LPCC, she provides an approach that emphasizes collaboration, self-understanding, and practical steps toward improved functioning.

Sessions are available through multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Renee uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s experience, offering empathic listening and a respectful space for self-exploration. This approach helps clients gain insight, strengthen self-awareness, and make decisions aligned with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) complements that work by focusing on the link between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and teaching concrete strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is presented as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, test techniques, and adjust the plan as needed so interventions match the client’s needs, preferences, and goals for change. Flexibility in method and pacing is emphasized so people can find what helps them most.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit care into busy schedules or manage mobility and geographic limitations. These formats offer continuity and convenience while allowing licensed professionals to apply client-centered work and CBT tools effectively across different communication styles.
