About Renee

Renee LaVigne is a licensed social worker (LMSW) who combines evidence-based strategies with a warm, client-focused presence to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship struggles, and ADHD-related challenges.

Background and approach

With 25 years of practice in Michigan, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and client-centered care to tailor support around each person’s priorities and circumstances. Her approach emphasizes practical skills, increased self-awareness, and clearer decision-making to navigate life transitions and persistent emotional patterns.

She has guided individuals through depression, bipolar episodes, addiction recovery, parenting and intimacy issues, career change, compassion fatigue, grief, and a wide range of family and communication problems. Renee also addresses concerns such as codependency, boundary and control issues, forgiveness, and body image.

Her work focuses on helping clients build coping skills, improve communication, and reclaim a sense of purpose and balance. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative process that aligns therapeutic methods with personal goals and daily realities.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action aligned with those values while learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings; this approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors, offering practical skills that transfer well to daily life. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which supports emotion regulation and resilience when coping with ongoing stress or compassion fatigue.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and Renee takes a collaborative stance to determine which combination of approaches best fits a client’s goals, preferences, and circumstances. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on response and evolving needs so clients can feel involved in shaping their care.

Online therapy sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These options make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes, manage scheduling constraints, and use a mix of real-time and written communication to support progress between live sessions.
