About Renee
Renee Sharper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of experience practicing in Texas. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, and anger. Renee also supports those facing issues with addictions, grief, parenting strain, and career pressures.
She treats people as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps they can take. Sessions tend to be direct and conversational. Renee uses evidence-based tools like cognitive techniques and mindfulness skills to help manage strong emotions and reduce reactive patterns.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered principles, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That mix lets her switch between learning new coping skills, noticing relationship patterns, and working on values and goals. Conversations often include clear practice exercises to use between sessions.
Renee works with specific themes such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and issues that follow divorce or separation. She also addresses concerns tied to first responder experiences, veteran and armed forces issues, and living with HIV/AIDS. Clients can expect straightforward planning and skill-building alongside exploration of how past relationships shape present reactions.
Sessions are practical and goal-focused. Renee helps people break down steps, try them out, and review what changed. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for people who want to reduce reactive behavior and live more consistently with what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding. CBT is practical for managing anger linked to automatic thoughts at work or in close relationships.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are often used when people need tools to respond differently in heated moments.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and DBT techniques over time.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what online formats are offered. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into workdays, reduces travel time, and allows shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they fit everyday life and specific practical constraints.
