About Renee

Renee Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field. She brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and collaborative style to her work, creating a setting where people can share difficult thoughts and emotions and begin to make meaningful changes.

Renee focuses on helping individuals move beyond fears, anxiety, and stress that limit daily functioning and emotional processing. Many of these challenges are connected to past trauma, loss, or other painful events, and she uses an integrative approach that blends proven methods to address those roots directly. Her practice includes the use of EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - as one element of a broader treatment plan, paired with evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support symptom relief and skill building.

Throughout treatment Renee emphasizes partnership and practical strategies tailored to each person s needs, helping clients build coping skills, process difficult material, and restore greater balance in relationships, work, and daily life. She considers it an honor to be part of important moments in a person s journey toward healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts and practical coping strategies. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-focused goals.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindful awareness. It can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and learning new ways to cope under pressure.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns in connection and trust, helping clients explore and repair relational wounds that affect intimacy and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee Wells collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts through live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing work between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access licensed professionals from different locations while maintaining continuity of care.
