Renee Alfieri, LMHC

Renee Alfieri is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who uses a person-centered approach to help people through major life transitions. She draws on ten years of clinical experience to tailor conversations and practical steps to each person's situation. Renee focuses on clear, respectful dialogue and supports people as they consider change.

Her work often addresses addictions, depression, anxiety, and stress. She also helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. Many people seek her support for grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues.

Renee combines client-centered work with goal-focused tools. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to break problems into manageable steps. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck and want to build momentum toward change.

She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help manage intense emotions and improve focus. These simple skills are used alongside action plans for career, parenting, or caregiving stress. Renee adapts each session to the person’s needs rather than following a single script.

People who reach out can expect a calm, compassionate tone and straightforward conversations about next steps. Renee emphasizes practical coping strategies and small, measurable changes. The aim is steady progress toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

How Renee’s approaches translate to online care

Renee combines client-centered listening with practical, goal-focused methods. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person’s priorities, creating room to talk through what matters most and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and breaks them into small, actionable changes that people can try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy adds brief attention and breathing practices to help manage strong emotions and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts direction over time, mixing listening, skills practice, and goal-setting based on progress and feedback.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are currently offered before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work with a licensed professional when relocating or living outside the local area. Discuss format and scheduling during the initial matching process to find an arrangement that works with daily life.
