About Renee
Renee Lewis brings more than four decades of clinical work to her practice as a California-licensed LMFT. Her career has focused on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood challenges such as depression, and she also addresses attention and concentration difficulties often associated with ADHD.
Background and approach
Renee emphasizes respectful, sensitive care and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s specific needs. Her approach centers on practical strategies that help clients manage stress, anxiety, grief, sleep troubles, and the emotional fallout from life changes like divorce or workplace difficulties.
She also works with issues related to communication, infidelity, post-traumatic stress, and women’s concerns, aiming to restore balance and improve daily functioning. Renee takes a compassionate stance toward parenting struggles, career pressures, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Clients who prefer an evidence-informed method will find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) included in her toolkit, used to identify patterns and develop workable skills. She acknowledges that beginning therapy requires courage and supports people through that initial step, offering a tailored path forward that aligns with each individual’s goals and circumstances.
CBT-informed Online Care and Practical Strategies
Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary framework, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and build skills to change behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress. CBT emphasizes clear goals, practical exercises, and step-by-step skills that can be applied between sessions to produce measurable change.Her practice also emphasizes adaptable, person-centered work that tailors interventions to the client’s priorities and life context. She collaborates with clients to identify what feels most helpful and adjusts techniques and pacing based on individual needs and goals rather than applying a single formula.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy with her provides flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when travel, work, or family life make in-person visits difficult, and they allow clients to access therapeutic support in ways that fit their daily routines.
