Renee Guerrieri, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Renee

Renee Guerrieri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Her style is practical and focused on clear steps parents can take now.

Conversations are respectful and tailored to each family's needs. She trained in social work at Tulane University and has worked in Florida for many years. Renee uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Background and approach

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and client-centered techniques to guide conversations about trust, connection, and meaning. Renee often teaches short psycho-educational sessions on topics like communication skills, fair fighting in intimate relationships, and rebuilding trust. She also offers coping skills for transitions and practical tools for parenting and caregiving stress.

When a specific request falls outside her expertise, she will suggest another provider. Her experience includes long-term work with military families, veterans, and active duty members, which shaped her understanding of grief, loss, and adjustment challenges. She aims to treat each person with dignity and unconditional positive regard while crafting a plan that fits their situation.

Renee emphasizes small, achievable steps. She encourages people to be patient with themselves as they try new ways of relating and coping. Taking the first step is recognized as difficult, and she offers steady support throughout the process.

Approaches that translate to online family work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying what matters most and taking small actions toward those values. It helps people manage painful thoughts and stay focused on parenting and relationship goals rather than getting stuck on difficult emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for coping with stress, grief reactions, and day-to-day parenting challenges.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centers on improving emotional connection and communication within relationships. It can help people address intimacy issues and rebuild trust by supporting clearer, calmer conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Renee will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as the work progresses so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. These options let parents use brief check-ins, longer conversations, or text-based coaching as needed. Overall, online therapy offers flexibility and continuity so people can keep working on skills between sessions.

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.

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.
