About Renee
Renee Sharper is a licensed professional counselor who helps people working through stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, trauma, and depression. She frames therapy as a practical space for change. She emphasizes strengths and supports people taking the first steps toward a different life.
Renee sees therapy as a collaborative process. She listens without judgment and helps clients name clear goals. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps people can use between meetings to reduce distress and build skills.
Background and approach
Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with a respect for each person's story. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people live by their values when emotions feel overwhelming.
Attachment-based work is used when relationship patterns and early wounds matter. That approach looks at how past connections shape current trust, closeness, and reactions. Dialectical behavior tools help people manage strong feelings and improve coping in the moment.
Renee holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. She has seven years of professional experience and practices in Texas. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs.
Clients often come for help with parenting strain, grief, career uncertainty, addiction concerns, and questions about identity. Renee helps people develop practical plans, practice new skills, and move toward steadier daily life.

Practical approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. It helps people stop fighting normal emotions and begin living in line with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking and routines. Those skills often help with anxiety, depression, and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current patterns of trust and closeness and can be useful when relationship dynamics or past loss affect daily life.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time so it fits the person’s life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions are an option when a camera is not practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can work for brief check-ins, homework help, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to build therapy into a busy schedule or to keep continuity when travel or work demands change.
