Rene Jourdan, LCPC

Rene Jourdan, LCPC, uses a practical, person-centered approach to help adults navigate hard moments. She focuses on clear goals and steady steps so people can move forward from stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and midlife transitions. Sessions are aimed at reducing overwhelm and building skills that fit everyday life.

Rene draws from several approaches to tailor care to each person. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools and acceptance-based strategies. That mix is used to address mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms, problems with emotion regulation, and challenges tied to trauma and abuse.

Her background includes more than a decade in clinical work and crisis response. Rene spent over five years helping on the North Idaho Crisis Line and has supervised programs in family and peer support and substance use services. This experience informs how she manages risk, safety, and complex needs in sessions.

Rene currently manages a substance use disorder program and provides both group and individual addiction treatment. She has led coping skills groups, basic mental health processing groups, and taught the Matrix Model of addiction in group settings.

People who meet with Rene can expect direct, compassionate conversation and practical strategies. She works with issues such as relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, ADHD-related challenges, chronic illness and caregiver strain, and career or life-change dilemmas. Sessions are offered in English and Rene accepts international clients; confirm session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that align with their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new, more effective ways of thinking and acting; it is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change how they relate to others and themselves, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rene will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. That process is flexible and revisited as progress is made so methods match what is actually helping.

Session logistics should fit into everyday life. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, allow quieter surroundings for focused conversation, or enable shorter check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals can also adapt group or individual work to the online setting when appropriate, and Rene has experience leading therapeutic groups which may inform how she runs virtual group work.
