About Renee

Renee Alfieri is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and anger, among other concerns. Renee focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Renee uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way. She leans on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down thought and behavior patterns that fuel anger, low mood, or anxiety. Mindfulness tools are introduced to help calm the body and notice triggers before they escalate.

People come for help with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, parenting stress, career strain, and challenges linked to ADHD or compassion fatigue. Renee lists work on intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, and bipolar disorder among her focus areas as well.

Her practical style includes goal-setting and short-term strategies from Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That combination aims to move conversations toward clear next steps rather than only talking about problems.

Renee asks for honest feedback about what helps and what does not. Sessions emphasize small, measurable changes people can practice between meetings. Her approach is direct, focused on useful tools, and adjusted over time based on results.

How Renee applies therapeutic approaches online

Renee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to address anger, anxiety, and low mood. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes, which can reduce reactivity and improve problem-solving. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to notice triggers and bodily responses so people can choose different actions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on each person's priorities. That means sessions emphasize what matters to the client and the therapist adjusts her questions and suggestions to match those goals. Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process; she will review options with clients and try practical techniques to see what helps. Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills in their everyday context and bring real situations into the conversation for immediate problem solving.
