About Renee
Renee Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who offers calm, straightforward help for people struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, and related concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can say what’s really on their mind without feeling judged. Her approach aims to make hard emotions easier to manage day to day.
With 20 years of experience in the mental health field, Renee blends several practical methods to fit each person.
Background and approach
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-driven action. Renee works with people who are coping with trauma, grief, depression, addictions, ADHD, relationship and intimacy-related struggles, parenting stress, and life transitions.
She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image issues, and commitment or attachment concerns. Her focus includes both immediate coping skills and longer-term behavior change. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs.
Renee aims to teach skills that can be practiced between sessions, such as grounding, problem-solving, and communication techniques. She adapts methods to suit individual goals rather than following a single formula. Renee practices in Michigan and meets with clients in English.
She offers a direct, respectful climate where practical tools meet personal goals. The intent is to help people regain calm, make clearer choices, and move forward with more confidence.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Renee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves noticing patterns of thought and behavior and then practicing different responses to reduce symptoms like anxiety and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication skills for people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions.She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when values and committed action will help a person move forward. That approach helps people accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward goals that matter to them. Renee treats finding the right approach as a team effort and will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers writing over talking. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and keep momentum between visits.
