About Renee

Renee Grant is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain and wants to guide them toward more satisfying daily life.

Background and approach

Renee aims to listen first, then work with each person to set practical goals and steady next steps. Renee uses straightforward conversation and structured tools to address relationship strain, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and major life changes.

She also helps people facing grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, parenting stress, career pressure, and ADHD-related challenges. Her approach emphasizes clear communication, manageable coping skills, and rebuilding trust in close relationships.

In sessions she adapts methods to the person in front of her, blending skill-building and problem-solving with attention to emotions. That can mean practicing new ways to talk about needs, learning tools to reduce intense reactions, or creating plans to regain motivation and confidence.

Renee describes therapy as a collaborative effort where the client’s goals shape the work. Her background includes long-term clinical work in North Carolina and a focus on family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and abandonment wounds, blended family dynamics, and problems that follow domestic violence or divorce.

She also supports people with first responder stresses and fatherhood issues. Renee aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring each plan to individual needs.

She encourages people to take the first step and will support them as they try out new ways of coping and relating.

Approaches that inform online care

Renee draws on the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and reduce recurring conflict by teaching concrete interaction skills for closer relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions that move life forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different responses to reduce anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee will talk with each person about goals, struggles, and what feels most useful. Together they test strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill practice, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat offers quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy or schedules change.
