About Renee

Renee LaRock-Gary is an experienced licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York with two decades of clinical work. She brings a long-standing commitment to learning evidence-based strategies and uses a blend of therapeutic methods to address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her MA and LMHC credentials reflect formal training and professional licensure, and her background includes working in varied care settings and training other professionals in areas related to sexual trauma. Her style emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving, helping clients identify what techniques fit their needs while adapting approaches to each person’s situation.

She draws on attachment-focused work, client-centered principles, cognitive-behavioral tools, DBT skills, and mindfulness practices to create a tailored plan. Renee aims to equip people with a core set of strategies quickly, then refine individualized tools together so clients can move toward greater well-being at a comfortable pace.

She accepts clients who prefer online formats and offers multiple communication options, and she approaches each case with respect, curiosity, and an orientation toward empowerment rather than prolonged dependence on therapy.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Renee integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices into remote work to provide clear tools for everyday challenges. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction exercises that can help manage overwhelming feelings and improve emotional regulation.

She also draws on attachment-based principles when addressing relational patterns and trust issues, exploring how early bonds influence current interactions and drawing on that understanding to build safer, more effective ways of relating. Determining which of these approaches fits best is a collaborative process - she works with each client to match methods to individual goals, preferences, and needs rather than prescribing a single path up front.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, her online practice emphasizes flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapeutic work into busy lives, maintain continuity when schedules change, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
