About Rene
Rene Morago-Barton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed approaches. She aims to help people reduce overwhelming emotions and regain control over daily life. Rene speaks plainly and focuses on clear steps people can use between sessions.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered for emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel intense.
Background and approach
Rene also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered principles to support values-based action and a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Rene has about eight years of clinical experience across agency, inpatient, and independent practice settings in Florida. That range has given her exposure to many life situations, including anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma histories.
She also works with people facing mood instability, substance use, low self-esteem, and overwhelming thoughts. Her focus includes stress, parenting and blended family transitions, relationship and family problems, anger, addiction concerns, ADHD, and caregiver strain. Additional areas she commonly addresses are attachment and abandonment issues, communication and control problems, and forgiveness work.
Rene asks clients what they want to change and then builds a plan together. She uses practical tools, short skills practice, and conversational coaching to help people make steady progress toward their goals.

Clinical approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values. It uses simple exercises to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors with practical homework and short, focused skill practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings become intense.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rene will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. This happens through conversation, trying a few skills, and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue care when life is in transition or when people are located outside the therapist's immediate area. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and DBT exercises to remote sessions so that skill practice and coaching remain practical and goal-focused.
