About Renee

Renee Lewis is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with over four decades of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She draws on long practice to support people facing relationship strains, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar concerns, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and challenges with concentration and focus often associated with ADHD. Her work also addresses stress, anxiety, grief, sleep difficulties, workplace issues, and the ripple effects of life transitions.

Renee emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapeutic relationship, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each client's situation. She brings particular attention to communication problems, divorce and separation, infidelity, women's issues, seasonal mood changes, and caregiving fatigue.

Her approach centers on practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients build coping skills, improve daily functioning, and clarify goals. Prospective clients are invited to take the first step knowing the therapist values their courage and readiness to seek support.

Integrating CBT and Online Care for Practical Change

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core method, helping clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and struggles with focus. CBT is goal-oriented and skill-based, making it useful for people who want concrete tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work she conducts collaboratively with each client. She listens to a client's concerns, goals, and preferences and then co-designs a plan that may include CBT techniques and behavioral strategies to address specific priorities such as communication, stress management, or concentration difficulties related to ADHD symptoms.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and homework to remote formats so clients can continue making measurable progress from wherever they are located.
