About Renee

Renee Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Board Certified and Licensed Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field. She brings a compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative style to her work, creating a therapeutic space where people can speak openly and begin to address what matters most to them.

Wells focuses on helping individuals move beyond fears, anxiety, and stress that limit everyday functioning. Many of these difficulties are tied to trauma, loss, or other emotionally painful events that interfere with processing and coping. Her approach attends to the ways these experiences shape thoughts, feelings, and relationships, and she tailors treatment to each person’s needs.

As part of an overall treatment strategy, she integrates techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based practices to address symptoms and build skills. The combination of behavioral analysis and counseling allows her to use practical tools while honoring clients’ individual stories. Wells considers it an honor to accompany people through important life transitions and therapeutic work, and she looks forward to meeting those who seek her support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change reactions and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections, helping people understand and repair difficulties in closeness, trust, and communication.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may blend elements from different methods to create a tailored plan. This shared decision-making helps ensure the work fits the client’s life and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in treatment through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, access support from home or work, and continue care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, process experiences, and track progress in ways that align with a client’s needs.
