About Renee

Renee Capanna offers a client-centered approach that puts each person and their goals first. She emphasizes listening, respect, and collaboration as the starting point for change. Renee brings 25 years of professional experience and holds LCSW and LISW credentials while practicing in Ohio.

She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges around eating and body image. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, career decisions, and problems with motivation or self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her style focuses on building on what already works in a person's life and finding clear, practical steps forward. Renee uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on existential ideas to help people clarify meaning and personal values.

Other approaches in her practice include hypnotherapy and Jungian-informed exploration when those methods fit a client's needs. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and gentle guidance aimed at steady progress. Renee values honesty about struggles and strengths, and she works with each person to set realistic goals.

The process begins with the first step of reaching out and sharing what feels most important right now. Over her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin issues. She welcomes people who want practical coping skills alongside deeper personal insight and coaching toward a more satisfying life.

How these approaches work for online therapy

Client-centered therapy begins by focusing on the person’s experience and goals. It relies on listening, reflection, and collaboration so the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify what matters. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and try options that match a client’s goals and comfort level. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and can reduce travel time or scheduling friction. They also allow brief check-ins or more focused skill practice between in-depth sessions, which can help maintain momentum. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and tools so therapy fits everyday schedules and goals.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
