About Rene
Rene Jourdan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who combines practical strategies with a compassionate style. She works with adults seeking help for stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, and other mental health challenges. Rene writes and speaks plainly in sessions so people can try new ways of coping right away.
Rene uses a blend of approaches focused on what helps a person now. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered and attachment-informed ideas to strengthen relationships and build safety in close connections. Her background includes more than a decade of clinical work and crisis service experience in North Idaho. For over five years she helped provide crisis support through a regional crisis line and later supervised programs that supported peers, families, and people with substance use concerns.
That frontline work shaped her ability to respond calmly in high-stress moments. Rene currently manages a program for substance use disorders and offers both group and individual treatment. She has run coping skills groups, basic mental health processing groups, and addiction groups using the Matrix Model.
These formats let people practice new skills with structure and peer support. In sessions she focuses on clear goals, skill practice, and real-life problem solving. Rene helps people address issues like parenting strain, grief, career stress, ADHD symptoms, trauma, and relationship patterns.
She encourages steady steps that fit each person’s life and values.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rene commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. CBT helps people identify patterns of thinking that increase distress and teaches practical exercises to change behaviors and mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rene works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you see nonverbal cues and work through exercises in real time. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins or ongoing written reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice skills across daily life.
