Sadie Renander , LPC, LMHP

Sadie Renander, LPC, LMHP, is a licensed mental health practitioner who brings a thoughtful, person-centered approach to therapy. She holds a Master of Science in Family and Youth Services with a focus in Clinical Counseling, awarded in 2012 by Bellevue University in Bellevue, Nebraska. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP), she combines clinical training with practical experience to help individuals and families navigate difficult circumstances.

Over the course of her career she has worked across residential, outpatient, in-home, and hospital settings, concentrating much of her time on supporting children and families affected by trauma, abuse, relationship conflict, depression, and anxiety. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trust-Based Relational Intervention as key tools in her work, while remaining open to other modalities when those better match a client’s needs.

Sadie’s style centers on empathy, connection, and collaboration. She begins by learning about each person’s unique situation and goals, then partners with them to set measurable targets and practical strategies for change. Having experience on both sides of the therapeutic relationship, she recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and aims to create a respectful, team-oriented space for growth and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sadie integrates several well-established approaches to tailor care around each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, giving the client space to lead the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist offers acceptance and understanding to support personal growth. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and trust in relationships, helping address issues that stem from early bonds and relational trauma.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to assess goals, preferences, and strengths, and together they determine the best strategies to pursue. Adjustments are made as progress unfolds so the work remains aligned with the client's priorities.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexible ways to receive care. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from a distance, while still focusing on meaningful, evidence-informed work toward the client’s goals.
