Renee Sloan, LPC

Renee Sloan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 18 years in the mental health field. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and concerns tied to identity and intimacy. Renee aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear for anyone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She listens for each person's strengths and builds on what already helps. Sessions focus on practical skills and small changes people can use between meetings. Renee uses straightforward tools to address sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles.

Renee also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and bipolar mood challenges. She has experience with parenting stress, adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, and caregiver strain. Additional areas she helps with include body image, codependency, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and attention differences like ADHD.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and better stress tolerance. Together these approaches offer both short-term coping tools and longer-term behavior changes.

Renee aims to collaborate on goals and pacing so people feel heard and supported. Her style is practical and compassionate, focused on making day-to-day life a little easier and more manageable.

How CBT and DBT work in online therapy

Renee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT focuses on specific, manageable tasks that can reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems through practical homework and skill practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, then recommend skills and pacing that fit. The plan can change as needs shift so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins, practice prompts, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
