About Renette

Renette Herrera is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 13 years of clinical experience. She has supported people coping with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and attention-related difficulties such as ADHD.

Background and approach

Her background includes work across a broad range of life stressors and family dynamics. Herrera uses a person-centered, collaborative stance that emphasizes respect and compassion while focusing on practical strategies for change.

She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, acceptance and commitment strategies, and dialectical behavior tools to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Motivational interviewing and other evidence-informed methods are used when relevant to help clients find direction and build skills.

Clients can expect an interactive and warm therapeutic relationship where the therapist meets them where they are and partners with them to shift unhelpful patterns. Herrera aims to help people strengthen resilience, improve communication, and move toward greater confidence and a more balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Renette Herrera uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, mood concerns, and difficulty concentrating. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to guide people toward living in line with their values while building psychological flexibility and acceptance of uncomfortable emotions. Both approaches are practical and skills-oriented, useful for managing stress, mood issues, relationship challenges, and attention-related struggles.

Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, making adjustments over time so the plan fits the person’s life and needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, so people can access care from different locations and at varied times. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of treatment, try different therapeutic exercises between sessions, and receive consistent support while balancing daily responsibilities.
