About Renee

Renee Lewis is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings decades of clinical work to sessions. She has spent many years helping people navigate relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and depression. Renee keeps language simple and practical so conversations feel clear and manageable.

She uses a tailored approach that matches each person's goals and needs. Sessions focus on building skills for concentration and focus, managing anxiety and stress, and finding steadier footing during life changes. Renee aims to listen closely and respond with respect and compassion.

Renee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also works on communication skills, coping with grief, and practical strategies for sleep and mood. These tools are presented in everyday terms and practiced between sessions.

With 42 years of experience, Renee brings a steady, experienced presence to difficult topics such as infidelity, divorce and post-traumatic stress. She helps people address workplace issues, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to parenting and family stress.

People meet her when they want straightforward guidance, clear steps to try at home, and a respectful space to talk things through. Renee practices in California and conducts sessions in English. If you are ready to begin, she asks that you take the first step and start the intake process.

How CBT guides online work and wellbeing sessions

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that are easy to understand. CBT helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors that add to stress or low mood. It focuses on small changes you can try between meetings to improve sleep, mood, focus, and daily routines.

In practice, CBT sessions involve identifying specific problems, setting clear goals, and testing new behaviors to see what helps. Renee pairs this with practical communication work when relationship or workplace issues are the focus, so people leave with concrete skills to practice.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Renee will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, values, and daily life. She adjusts the way she uses CBT and communication work based on what is and isn’t helping during treatment.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days. It can also support consistent follow-through on homework, shorter check-ins when needed, and easier access when travel or work demands make in-person visits difficult.
