About Renee
Renee Lewis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 42 years of clinical experience. She helps people with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD-related focus issues, and anger. Renee works with a broad range of life stresses including grief, sleep problems, parenting concerns, workplace issues, and changes like divorce or separation.
Renee uses practical conversation and structured techniques to address the issues people bring. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and to test new ways of responding. Sessions involve setting clear goals, trying specific strategies between meetings, and reviewing what changed.
She pays attention to communication problems, infidelity, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, women's issues, and compassion fatigue. Renee also supports people dealing with career stress, bipolar mood concerns, and low self-esteem. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what someone can do day to day to lessen anger and frustration.
Renee describes therapy as collaborative. She listens first, then suggests steps clients can try. Conversations are practical and aimed at improving how someone handles tense moments, recurring resentment, or workplace frustration.
People who prefer clear tools and structured work often choose her practice. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site's instructions to start a match questionnaire and schedule a session.
How CBT and clear methods translate to online work
Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting thinking patterns that feed anger and testing new responses. CBT helps with depression, anxiety, irritability, and repeated reactions at work or home by teaching practical skills to try between sessions.Her approach emphasizes direct techniques and skill practice. That means sessions often include reviewing recent situations, trying out small behavioral experiments, and setting concrete tasks to practice during the week. This makes it easier to see whether a new approach reduces frustration or helps manage impulses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Renee will collaborate with each person to choose which techniques to try based on their goals, what feels doable day to day, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Please confirm the therapist’s supported session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, or allow for brief check-ins when life is hectic. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your routine and attention needs.
