About Renee
Renee Sharper is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports those facing addiction, grief, parenting strain, career questions, and big life transitions. Renee speaks English and practices in Texas as an LPC and LMHC.
She brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. Renee uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings to feel steadier and more capable. Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people make choices that match their values.
Attachment-based work appears when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current struggles. Renee has worked with a range of concerns such as abandonment, codependency, infidelity, domestic violence, and first responder issues. She also supports people dealing with HIV/AIDS, veteran and armed forces issues, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters.
Her background helps her tailor strategies to each person's situation. Therapy with Renee aims to empower clients to take manageable steps toward change. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
The overall focus is practical progress, one step at a time.
Approach-focused online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, value-driven actions even when emotions are hard.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people recognize patterns in their close relationships and develop different ways of connecting and coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She adapts tools from different approaches so the plan fits the person, not the other way around.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, coping strategies between appointments, or when written reflection feels easier.
These formats make scheduling simpler for busy lives and allow people to maintain momentum between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver the same kinds of therapeutic work they would in person, focused on clear goals and steady progress.
