About Ranee

Ranee Sahachartsiri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in behavioral health and social work. She works with adults dealing with life transitions, family-of-origin issues, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress.

Background and approach

Grounded in a culturally competent and strengths-based perspective, Ranee helps clients identify resilience and build practical coping tools so past experiences do not determine future possibilities. Her style emphasizes a client-centered stance that prioritizes each person’s values and goals while drawing on evidence-based techniques.

Ranee blends cognitive behavioral strategies with motivational and solution-focused methods to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts, find motivation for change, and set concrete steps toward improvement. She aims to create a respectful, collaborative atmosphere where clients can explore identity, relationships, and emotional recovery.

Ranee maintains flexible communication and scheduling practices, often responding to messages in the evenings and offering early morning weekend sessions alongside limited availability on Fridays and weekday evenings. She frames therapy as a partnership focused on practical growth, emotional healing, and restoring a sense of possibility.

Online Approaches That Support Practical Change



Ranee integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online work by helping clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and test new behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes each person’s values and fosters self-directed growth. These approaches are used to address concerns like relationship strain, grief, trauma recovery, and life transitions in a way that combines insight with concrete skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; Ranee partners with clients to clarify goals, assess what methods match their preferences, and adjust strategies as progress unfolds. She emphasizes shared decision-making so the therapeutic plan reflects the client’s needs and pace rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

The practical benefits of online therapy with her include flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling around work or caregiving easier. These formats allow ongoing momentum between sessions and let clients engage with therapeutic tools in ways that fit their daily lives, encouraging consistent practice and steady progress.
