About Renee

Renee Brandon is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience. She creates a direct but compassionate space where adults can talk about anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and the everyday weight of life. Her style aims to balance support with practical steps so people leave with tools they can use right away.

She focuses on helping people cope with life changes and the pressures that come from work, caregiving, and relationships.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Renee listens closely, reflects what she hears, and offers clear techniques to try between meetings. Renee uses evidence-based methods to guide her work, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way.

She pairs that with problem-focused conversations that break big issues into manageable steps. The goal is progress that feels sensible and sustainable. Her background also includes behavioral health leadership and healthcare operations, which gives her practical insight into workplace and system-related stress.

That experience informs how she helps people balance responsibilities and self-care. Renee aims to meet people where they are and move forward at a pace that fits them. People come to her for short-term support during a rough patch or for longer work toward deeper change.

She encourages anyone who is ready to begin to take the first step and start a conversation about what they want to change.

How Renee Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different, healthier responses. CBT is practical and often focuses on small, testable changes that can reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive patterns.

She also frames sessions as collaborative problem-solving. That means the therapist and client set goals together, try strategies in between sessions, and adjust the plan as needed. This process helps tailor techniques to the person’s real-life schedule and challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to prioritize. She aims to make those decisions clear and understandable so clients feel comfortable with the plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep continuity when schedules shift. The variety also allows for different styles of work - some people prefer live conversation while others appreciate brief, ongoing check-ins by message.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
