About Renee

Renee Lewis is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 42 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD-related focus problems, stress, anxiety, grief, and anger. Renee also supports people facing workplace struggles, parenting pressures, and life transitions.

She draws on practical, talk-and-skill focused work in sessions. Conversations look at what is happening now, and at patterns that keep problems going. Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, low mood, or anger, and then to practice different responses.

Renee pays attention to communication problems, infidelity and separation issues, and women's concerns when they affect everyday functioning. She also helps people with sleep difficulties, seasonal mood changes, and compassion fatigue from caregiving or demanding jobs. Sessions include goal-setting and simple exercises to try between meetings.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She aims to make sessions practical - small steps and clear strategies people can use at home or at work. Signs of progress are discussed openly and plans are adjusted when needed.

Renee works in English and is based in California. When you decide to start, the process begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session so goals and next steps are clear.

How sessions work

How Renee Uses CBT Online

Renee works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people notice the thoughts and actions that keep anger, anxiety, or low mood going. CBT uses short, practical exercises such as tracking triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts, and trying alternative responses in real situations. These steps are aimed at reducing reactive patterns and improving daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and life demands. She reviews progress and adjusts techniques so sessions stay focused on what helps most for anger, relationships, sleep, or work stress.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a commute, a lunch break, or a quieter hour at home. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills between meetings and review exercises together without needing to travel.
