About Renee
Renee Sharper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on common young-adult pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationships, identity questions, and coping with life changes. Renee also works with depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and issues related to self-esteem and grief.
Her style is direct and person-centered. She treats the person rather than a label and assumes people know important parts of their story. Sessions tend to be practical and focused on what is happening now, with space to look at past patterns that still cause pain.
Renee uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to map thoughts and behaviors, acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and goals, and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions. She may also use dialectical skills for strong emotions and client-centered work to keep conversation grounded in the client's priorities.
In practice she helps people sort through concrete problems like job stress, relationship strain, and parenting pressures, as well as deeper struggles such as abandonment, codependency, or guilt and shame. She lists additional focus areas including blended family issues, domestic violence, first responder concerns, HIV/AIDS, and veteran-related issues.
Sessions are presented in straightforward language and aim to build skills that fit daily life. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the practice's online flow.
How Renee’s approaches fit online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions and can help when relationship patterns cause repeated problems.Finding the right method is part of the work. Renee will discuss which approaches make sense for the client's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses so techniques are chosen to fit real needs rather than a fixed model.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy schedule and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep consistent appointments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or options that don’t require being on camera, depending on the session formats offered. Because the biography does not list specific formats, confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match your day-to-day life.
