About Renita
Renita Harrigan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on practical support for parents and individuals facing stress and relationship strain. She uses straightforward conversation to help people name their struggles and find workable steps forward. She has 12 years of counseling experience and brings that background to sessions aimed at everyday problems.
Renita helps with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also helps people cope with life changes and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Many clients come with family concerns such as blended family issues, communication problems, and broader family problems. Renita supports people navigating those tensions and the decisions that follow. She also assists with career questions, life purpose, forgiveness, and building self-love.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location and therapist availability. To begin, a prospective client uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.
Renita aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where parents and individuals can talk through problems and try new ways of coping.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Renita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes skills for better communication and problem-solving within family relationships, which can reduce conflict and make day-to-day interactions easier.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand goals, needs, and preferences, then try methods that fit. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change, and Renita will check in regularly to see what is working.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a conversation that closely resembles in-person work, while phone sessions can be useful when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, ongoing prompts, or when scheduling a full session is difficult. These options make it easier to fit counseling around parenting duties, work, or other life demands.
