About Renee

Renee Lewis is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She has worked in the field for over four decades and brings steady experience to clients facing life changes. Renee aims to meet people where they are and to treat each person with respect and compassion.

Her work commonly addresses relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports people with concentration and focus challenges related to ADHD. Renee adapts conversations and plans to the needs of each person who comes to sessions.

Renee uses straightforward techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people notice patterns of thought and behavior and try different ways of responding. She helps clients practice skills that can ease anxiety, lift mood, and improve day-to-day functioning.

People seeking help with communication problems, divorce and separation, infidelity, or grief will find practical attention to those concerns. She also focuses on workplace stress, women's issues, compassion fatigue, and sleep problems when they affect daily life.

Treatment is collaborative and paced to what the client can manage. Renee encourages small, realistic steps and checks in about progress. If you are ready to begin, she asks that you use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule.

How Renee Uses CBT Online and What to Expect

Renee works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, test those thoughts, and practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, or low mood. This can be useful for relationship problems, depression, and managing everyday worry.

She focuses on clear, goal-oriented sessions where clients learn short exercises and skills to try between meetings. The process is collaborative - the therapist and client choose what to try based on goals, needs, and what feels workable for the client. Adjustments are made over time if an approach isn’t a good fit.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If you value practical tools and steady guidance, discuss how sessions can be scheduled to match your routine and priorities.
