About Renee

Renee Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience offering compassionate, collaborative care for people facing anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, and related challenges such as depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She creates a welcoming therapeutic space that encourages honest exploration of difficult emotions and life transitions, helping clients identify patterns that limit well-being and develop practical strategies for change. Her work integrates several evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered principles.

Renee draws on this range of approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s needs, often blending skills training, emotion-focused work, and values-based action to address issues like relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, sleep or eating problems, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving demands.

Based in Michigan, she brings 20 years of practice to sessions delivered in formats that fit modern life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she employs to help clients clarify values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to tolerate difficult inner experiences.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all. Renee works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then blends methods to form a tailored plan that addresses symptoms, skills, and life priorities together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health needs. Sessions are available as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging so clients can pick formats that fit their routine and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and build skills consistently across the week.
