About Renisha
Renisha Oubre is a licensed professional counselor who helps parents and families navigate stress, parenting challenges, and emotional strain. She listens closely and offers straightforward support for anxiety, depression, grief, and behavioral concerns in children and teens. Her first priority is creating a space where caregivers can talk through immediate worries and practical steps to improve family life.
Renisha uses a client-centered style that keeps the family's goals front and center.
Background and approach
She treats parents and guardians as partners, checking in to make sure her suggestions fit each household. When helpful, she adds tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach real skills for managing mood, behavior, and strong emotions. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to increase focus and reduce reactivity.
Motivational interviewing is used when families need help finding reasons to try a change and building small steps toward it. These methods are pulled together based on what each family is facing and what they want to accomplish. Renisha has 12 years of experience working in Louisiana schools and community settings.
She holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - with the license number LA LPC 5367. Her work covers a wide range of issues from ADHD and attachment concerns to substance-related problems and trauma. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To begin, caregivers complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their timing.
Approaches that translate well to online family work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following a family's own goals. With this approach the therapist takes a nonjudgmental stance and helps parents and caregivers clarify what matters most to them and their children.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many parenting challenges because it breaks problems into clear steps and homework that can be practiced between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These tools help families manage strong emotions, reduce reactive behaviors, and improve communication at home.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help families pick methods based on needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. Sessions are collaborative so techniques are adjusted over time to suit the household.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into school and work routines, try skills in real time, and keep continuity when schedules shift.
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.
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.
