About Renee
Renee Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people with parenting-related stress and everyday pressures. She aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for busy caregivers. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, and she encourages honest conversation about what’s on your mind.
Renee draws on two decades of experience in mental health to help people reduce anxiety and manage strong emotions. She guides clients through practical steps to cope with overwhelm, burnout, grief, and relationship strain.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize small, achievable changes that can fit into a family routine. Her work addresses patterns that often come from past loss, attachment wounds, or long-term stress. She uses approaches that build awareness of thoughts and feelings, and then teach new skills for responding differently.
That can include learning ways to tolerate distress, shift unhelpful thinking, and improve communication. Renee also supports people facing issues like parenting challenges, sleep or eating problems, addiction concerns, and career stress. She helps clients set clear goals and practices that can be tried between sessions.
Her style blends practical skill-building with a steady, compassionate presence. Renee practices from Michigan and offers sessions in English. She has worked in the field for 20 years and holds the LPC credential.
People who want a therapist who listens closely and focuses on usable tools often find her approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match your values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making clearer decisions about parenting and life priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating problems, and everyday parenting stress by teaching practical steps to change routines and reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Renee will talk with you about your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process lets you focus on tools that fit your rhythm and family demands.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work well for quick check-ins, skill practice, or when you need shorter, more frequent contact. These formats let people fit sessions around caregiving, work, and other commitments.
