About Rene

Rene Morago-Barton is a Florida LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and anger. She also supports those facing relationship and family challenges, addiction concerns, and career or life-change stressors.

Rene uses practical, skill-based approaches in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and on dialectical skills to manage intense emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clients clarify values and take action when feelings get in the way.

Her background includes agency work, inpatient settings, and private practice. That mix gives experience with different life situations and levels of need. She has worked with people who face low self-esteem, mood instability, substance use, racing thoughts, dissociation, and trauma histories.

Rene also helps with parenting concerns and blended family transitions. She addresses attachment and abandonment wounds that affect relationships and communication. Practical problem solving and motivational interviewing are part of how she helps people move toward goals.

Sessions focus on developing skills that fit into everyday life. Rene aims to help clients notice patterns, try new responses, and reduce the everyday impact of anger, anxiety, and stress. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Rene commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small, practical experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. DBT teaches specific emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong feelings and improve communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rene will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That often means trying a few techniques, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can also let people practice skills in the places they live and work, and can make scheduling around family or work commitments simpler. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for online sessions to keep progress steady.
