About Renee

Renee Sharper is a licensed counselor based in Texas who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and depression. With seven years of clinical practice, she draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate difficult transitions, manage intense emotions, and clarify personal goals.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes clients' strengths and lived experience, helping them identify practical strategies and new perspectives to reduce distress and build more satisfying patterns in life. Renee approaches each client as the expert on their own story while offering supportive guidance and skills-based tools.

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment strategies and attachment-informed thinking to address harmful thought patterns, increase emotional flexibility, and strengthen interpersonal connections. Her style is collaborative and empowering, encouraging clients to set meaningful goals, practice new behaviors, and track progress over time.

Beyond core concerns such as grief, parenting, and coping with life changes, Renee has developed additional focus in areas including abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, domestic violence, and life purpose. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and brings a practical, empathetic perspective to help people move toward clearer values and healthier coping.

Practical Approaches for Online Growth and Healing



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and related behaviors, then practice concrete techniques to shift patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and mindful action, which can be useful when adjusting to life changes or persistent emotional pain. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current connections, offering work on trust, closeness, and interpersonal healing.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist will collaborate with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and recommend approaches or combinations that feel most useful. Sessions may begin with an exploration of immediate concerns and progress toward a plan that integrates practical skills with longer-term insight.

Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care, practice skills between meetings, and adapt therapy to everyday life while working with a licensed professional committed to practical, strength-based support.
