About Renee

Renee Sharper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience in Texas. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and anger. Renee also supports people facing career shifts, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and identity issues related to LGBT matters.

She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and conversational. Renee helps people notice patterns, try different ways of responding, and practice skills between meetings.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and manage intense emotions. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas to work on values, emotional connection, and long-standing relationship patterns. Client-centered methods guide the pace and focus of each session.

Renee often helps people with issues like abandonment, codependency, blended family stress, and the fallout from infidelity or separation. She has worked with first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and people coping with disaster-related stress.

Language of service is English. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; cost varies by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online options.

How sessions work

Approaches for online work and what to expect

Renee uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and to practice alternative ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and anger that comes from automatic reactions to stress.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach concrete emotion-regulation skills, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills can help when emotions feel intense or when patterns of conflict repeat in relationships.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Renee collaborates with clients to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts pacing and tools based on what the person needs and what is working in practice.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. The emphasis is on practical skills and fitting sessions into everyday life rather than promising a specific technology or delivery style.
