About Renee

Renee Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with more than 20 years working in the mental health field. She brings a non-judgmental, collaborative, and compassionate approach to therapy, creating a space where people can speak openly and begin to address the patterns that limit their lives.

Her practice focuses on helping individuals overcome fears, anxiety, and stress, many of which are rooted in trauma, loss, or other emotionally painful events. Renee emphasizes helping clients process difficult feelings so they can move forward rather than be held back by past experiences. She draws on a range of evidence-based methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Renee integrates techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as part of a broader treatment plan and often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other research-supported practices. As a BCBA she also brings training in behavior analysis to inform interventions when helpful. Throughout her work she aims to support clients with practical strategies, emotional understanding, and collaborative planning to foster resilience and meaningful change.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy and Remote Care

Renee Wells uses several practical therapeutic models to support clients remotely. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life - an approach that can reduce avoidance and increase psychological flexibility. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns, helping clients understand and change relational dynamics that contribute to distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Renee works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts interventions over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to engage in consistent care from home, during work breaks, or while juggling family responsibilities, while still accessing the guidance of licensed professionals and therapists.
