Sadie Renander , LPC, LMHP

Sadie Renander is a licensed therapist based in Nebraska with 10 years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked across residential, outpatient, in-home, and hospital settings, and much of her practice has focused on supporting children and families coping with trauma, abuse, relationship conflict, depression, and anxiety. Sadie holds a Master of Science in Family and Youth Services with a concentration in Clinical Counseling, earned in 2012 from Bellevue University in Bellevue, Nebraska.

She practices using evidence-informed approaches and specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Trust-Based Relational Intervention, while remaining flexible to use other modalities when they better meet a client’s needs. Sadie holds the credentials LPC and LMHP - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LMHP stands for Licensed Mental Health Practitioner - which reflect her professional training and licensure to provide mental health care.

Sadie’s style is person-centered and collaborative. She emphasizes empathy and connection, starting by learning about each person and their goals rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions. Drawing on experience as both a clinician and someone who has sought help, she frames therapy as a team effort and works with clients to set measurable goals and practical steps to reach them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sadie draws on several practical approaches to support clients in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early connections shape present-day reactions, making it helpful for attachment issues, family dynamics, and parenting concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, prioritizing the client's own experience and goals so the work stays tailored to what matters most to the individual.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sadie works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting the plan as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from their own environments and schedule sessions with greater convenience, while still receiving care from licensed professionals who guide the therapeutic process.
