About Renee
Renee Grant is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina. She brings 30 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by relationships, parenting, stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. She treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Renee aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive. In sessions she listens for what matters most and builds a simple plan together.
Background and approach
She uses clear, evidence-informed methods to teach skills for managing emotions and improving communication. That can mean learning new coping tools for anxiety, practicing strategies for low mood, or working on ways to handle conflict and control issues.
Renee also addresses concerns that come up inside families like blended family challenges, problems tied to adoption or foster care, fatherhood issues, and family of origin dynamics. She works with issues related to trauma and abuse, grief, and compassion fatigue. Practical problem-solving and steady emotional support are central to her approach.
Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, dialectical behavior skills for emotion regulation, and motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change. The Gottman Method is used when communication and relationship patterns need focused attention. Renee adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs.
Sessions are offered in English and available through several online formats to fit different schedules. She encourages a collaborative pace so changes can feel achievable.
Online therapy approaches that fit busy family lives
Renee commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to shift day-to-day reactions. Acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. ACT works well for coping with life changes and ongoing emotional struggles.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist listens to each person’s situation, goals, and preferences and then suggests methods to try. If an approach isn’t a good fit, adjustments are made so the work stays practical and relevant to the client’s life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, and other commitments. The variety of formats also allows follow-up questions or brief check-ins between live sessions when that fits the client’s needs.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
