Renee Sharper, LPC, LMHC

Renee Sharper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Texas. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and life changes such as midlife transitions. Her approach centers on helping people notice their strengths and take practical steps toward a more satisfying life.

Renee works with each person as the expert on their own story. She emphasizes collaboration and clear goals rather than long lectures. Sessions are aimed at building coping skills, improving relationships, and reducing symptoms that get in the way of daily life.

She draws on a mix of methods including cognitive behavioral work to identify unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-based perspectives to improve how people connect with others. Dialectical behavior skills are used when strong emotions need managing, and client-centered techniques keep the person's priorities central.

Across seven years in the field, Renee has supported people facing grief, addictions, parenting stress, career decisions, and issues like abandonment or codependency. She also has experience with first responder and veteran concerns, and with HIV/AIDS related stress.

Renee describes therapy as a partnership. She helps people set achievable steps, practice new behaviors, and check progress as they go. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling follow after selecting the Start Therapy button.

How Renee’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice what matters to them and take actions that match those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and life purpose questions by focusing on small value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches clear strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing unhelpful thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how people relate to others and can help with relationship strain, abandonment issues, and improving emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee treats therapy as a collaboration and will help determine which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Clients try strategies in session and adjust the plan together based on what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. It can also allow a focus on skills practice and values-based tasks between meetings to support progress in everyday life.
