About Renee
Renee Lafriniere is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing strong emotions and life transitions. She works with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addictions, and career or relationship strain. Renee connects with clients across many stages of life, including aging and end-of-life concerns.
She favors a conversational, down-to-earth style. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and building better day-to-day routines. Clients learn tools to manage mood swings, stress, and overwhelming feelings so they can function more effectively at home and work.
Background and approach
Renee uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space where people feel heard. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, teaching ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Those approaches are aimed at improving coping, communication, and decision-making.
Her work often addresses specific challenges like postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating cancer care, hospice and end-of-life planning, and blended family dynamics. Practical problem solving is a steady focus in sessions.
With 25 years of experience and credentials as a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC), she brings steady clinical experience. Renee practices in Florida and offers therapy in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy is built around listening and responding to each person's needs. It focuses on understanding a client's perspective and helping them feel accepted while they figure out next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to break unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and day-to-day stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting direction as needed so therapy stays relevant to the client's life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines and needs. Video calls are good for reading nonverbal cues and having a face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions use less data and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to get consistent support around work, family, and other commitments.
