Renee Brandon, LPC

Renee Brandon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She creates a direct, compassionate space where adults can be heard without judgment. Her style is practical and straightforward, helping people take steps forward even when life feels heavy.

Renee focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, parenting strain, and coping with life changes. She also addresses caregiver stress, workplace strain, communication problems, control issues, and concerns tied to pregnancy and childbirth. Panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and questions about life purpose are also within her areas of focus.

Her approach is collaborative and honest, using evidence-based methods to match each person's needs. Renee emphasizes concrete tools alongside emotional processing, so sessions include both conversation and practical exercises that can be used between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the primary methods she uses to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

Before and alongside therapy, Renee's background in behavioral health leadership and healthcare operations informs how she understands work and caregiving pressures. That perspective helps when balancing career demands and family responsibilities.

She supports people who want either short-term help for a rough patch or longer-term work for deeper healing and self-understanding. Starting does not require having everything figured out - just a willingness to begin and try small changes together.

How CBT and online sessions work together

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different ways of thinking, and test new behaviors in everyday life. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related issues.

She pairs that method with a collaborative approach. Together the therapist and client decide what to work on, set doable goals, and adjust techniques based on needs and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be shaped by the person's concerns and what feels most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into a busy life. Video is good for a full session with visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text messaging lets people send notes or check in between meetings. These options provide flexibility for balancing work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while keeping progress steady.
