About Renee
Renee Sharper is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and depression. She uses a respectful, strengths-based approach that treats each person as the expert on their own life. Seeking help is framed as a brave first step, and Renee aims to support and empower clients as they move toward change.
With seven years of professional experience, Renee draws from several practical psychotherapy approaches. She blends tools from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and attachment-informed perspectives to look at relationship patterns. She also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person's story.
In sessions she focuses on clear, doable steps rather than jargon. Conversations often include skill practice, realistic goal-setting, and gentle reflection on what matters most to the client. The tone is collaborative and grounded in respect for the client’s own strengths.
Renee also supports people dealing with life disruptions such as divorce and separation, blended family challenges, first responder stresses, grief, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She offers help with issues like codependency, abandonment, and anger while keeping the work focused on what the client wants to change.
She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and practices in Texas. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most, then taking small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and helps people build healthier ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors sessions over time, combining techniques that feel most helpful for the problem at hand.
Confirm the available online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or make it simpler to attend when scheduling is tight. Licensed professionals can use different methods to help people practice skills, set goals, and track progress even when sessions are not in person.
