About Renee

Renee Sharper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Texas with 7 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and parenting concerns. Renee also helps people dealing with grief, addiction, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions involve talking through current problems, learning skills to manage emotions, and shaping practical steps for change.

Renee pays attention to how early relationships affect present behavior. Attachment-focused work looks at patterns that repeat in close relationships and how to shift them. ACT and CBT tools are used to clarify values, respond differently to distress, and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

She also addresses practical family and parenting stress. That can mean sorting through blended family challenges, codependency, abandonment concerns, or the strain of divorce and separation. Renee works with issues tied to first responder and veteran experiences, and with people facing guilt, shame, or infidelity.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. For people wanting to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take values-based action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and changing behavior through practical exercises. It is commonly applied to worry, depression, and coping skills.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as arranging brief check-ins, avoiding commute time, or choosing interactions that do not require video. Licensed professionals can use these practical arrangements to help clients maintain continuity of care while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
