About Rene
Rene Morago-Barton is a Florida LMHC with eight years of clinical work. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, relationship and family challenges, and parenting strains. Rene also supports people navigating career changes, ADHD, mood instability, and compassion fatigue.
She trained in psychology with a bachelor’s degree from the University of West Florida and a master’s in clinical psychology and counseling from Troy State University. Her background includes work in agencies, inpatient settings, and private practice. Those varied settings gave her experience with many life situations and levels of need.
Rene draws on practical, skills-based approaches in sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns and dialectical behavior strategies for mood and emotion regulation. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused ideas to look at values and relationship patterns.
Sessions are client-centered and solution-focused, with an emphasis on real-world coping skills. People who come to her often want to reduce negative self-talk, manage racing thoughts, or find steadier mood patterns. She also helps with blended family issues and caregiver stress.
In conversations she emphasizes clear goals and concrete steps. Clients work on specific skills between sessions and check progress together. Rene accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English, and fee arrangements vary by location and subscription terms.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward them while learning to live with unpleasant thoughts. It can help when someone feels stuck after college or early in a career and wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with step-by-step exercises that fit into everyday life. It is useful for anxiety, depressive thinking, and racing thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help with blended family issues and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is worked out together. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process is part of shaping ongoing sessions rather than a one-time choice.
The therapist's profile does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around class schedules, work shifts, or caregiving duties. Some approaches translate well to shorter check-ins, worksheets emailed between sessions, and practice exercises that fit into daily routines. Ask about format options when you sign up so sessions can match your schedule and needs.
