Renée Thompson, LCSW

Renée Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those struggling with parenting, self-esteem, depression, sleep and eating problems, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Renée brings 21 years of counseling experience to sessions and emphasizes practical steps toward change.

She works in a straightforward, supportive way and focuses on clients' strengths. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness, build resilience, and practice new habits that match each person's goals. Renée uses listening, gentle challenge, and concrete exercises to help people try different responses to old problems.

Her background includes long experience with grief and loss, including loss to suicide, and a decade providing hospice and palliative care counseling. She has also worked with adoptive and foster care issues, blended families, aging concerns, autism, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and divorce or separation. Renée has been a Florida LCSW since 2009.

In the room she is open-minded and nonjudgmental, offering perspective, encouragement, and practical steps to move forward. She often blends client-centered listening with skills-based tools so people can feel better more quickly. The goal is to help clients find meaning, improve relationships, and make everyday life more manageable.

If someone wants to begin, Renée asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability. She works with English-speaking adults and does not take international clients at this time.

How Renée’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood; this helps with low self-esteem, grief, and relationship questions by building trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and managing stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Renée collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She may blend listening-focused work with CBT-style skill practice or mindfulness exercises based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, meetings can be scheduled around work, require less commuting, or allow a short check-in when time is limited. Some approaches work well when people use worksheets or practice skills between meetings, which can be done remotely. Discuss format and scheduling during the initial matching and booking steps to find what will work best for everyday life.
