About Renee

Renee Alfieri is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She brings ten years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical, respectful care that meets each person's needs.

Renee helps people address addictions, depression, and anxiety with plainspoken support. She also works with concerns about relationships, self-esteem, motivation, and stress. She meets clients where they are and responds to the issues they bring into the room.

Her approach is collaborative. She customizes conversations and treatment plans so they fit a person's life and goals. That means setting clear steps, checking in on progress, and shifting the plan when something isn't working.

Renee uses methods that are goal-focused and skill-based. Those approaches help people build new habits, change unhelpful thoughts, and practice calming skills. She also uses coaching-style techniques for motivation and problem solving.

People often seek her help for grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career difficulties, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also supports those facing issues like compassion fatigue, intimacy-related concerns, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.

Renee speaks English and accepts international clients. She aims to make the first steps toward change manageable and clear, and to offer steady support as people work toward their goals.

Approaches used online and how they help

Renee draws on client-centered methods that focus on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. That approach is useful when someone needs validation, clearer goals, and a plan shaped around their life.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people learn concrete strategies for reducing anxiety, managing depression, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is practical and shared rather than one-size-fits-all.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not stated in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or letting someone choose a quieter setting on their schedule. Talk with her about how sessions could be structured to match daily routines and goals.
