About Renee
Renee Capanna is an LCSW and LISW licensed in Ohio with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, self-esteem, depression, and the everyday strains of parenting and caregiving. Renee invites straightforward conversation about what is worrying someone at home and how it shows up day to day.
She practices in a way that centers the person's own story. Renee listens for strengths people already use and helps them apply those strengths to current problems. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with clear steps to try between meetings.
Renee uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking and change small habits that undermine progress. She also draws on client-centered work that prioritizes the person’s perspective. When relevant, she brings in existential and Jungian ideas to help clients reflect on meaning, identity, and deeper patterns that affect relationships and self-image.
Her experience includes long-term work on attachment, abandonment, codependency, and communication problems that often come from family of origin wounds. She also supports people dealing with grief, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. Renee approaches eating and body-image concerns with attention to behavior and underlying feelings.
People who come to her can expect clear, plain talk about goals and next steps. The focus is on manageable changes that fit into busy lives and the specific pressures of parenting and household responsibilities.
How sessions work
How Renee’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. In practice this means sessions begin by listening to what matters most and shaping goals around daily life and household stresses. It helps with parenting strain, caregiver issues, and communication problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, eating-related habits, and building routines that fit a busy home life.
Existential ideas are used to look at meaning, commitment, and identity when people face big life changes like divorce, career shifts, or grief. These conversations can help clarify values and next steps rather than only solving immediate problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Renee will discuss which methods seem most useful and adjust based on the client’s goals and reaction. She works together with people to decide what to try and how to measure progress.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-in times, or avoid commuting. Talk with her during the matching step about what session rhythm and format will fit your household routine.
