About Renette
Renette Herrera is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, parenting strains, trauma, and mood concerns. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to meet clients where they are and help them take the next steps.
Renette uses a person-centered approach that centers the client's needs and goals.
Background and approach
She blends techniques from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness to create a plan that fits each person. Sessions focus on real-life skills and small changes that add up over time. In conversations she helps people notice patterns that fuel problems like anger, anxiety, or substance use.
She works on clearer communication, managing intense emotions, and building routines that support daily functioning. Parents can get help with parenting stress and blended-family challenges, and people dealing with grief, relationship strain, or abandonment issues can address those wounds in a steady way. Renette also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, ADHD, and first responder stress.
Her style is respectful and compassionate, with an emphasis on practical tools and steady progress. She encourages honest talk about hard things and helps clients try new ways of handling them. People who want straightforward, collaborative work that blends evidence-based techniques with mindful awareness often find her approach helpful.
She invites prospective clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work could fit their life.

Therapeutic approaches available online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, asks people to clarify what matters most to them and take small committed actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations, then practicing new behaviors to change mood and coping. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood issues, and managing stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches focused awareness of the present moment and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and increase attention; it pairs well with work on emotion regulation and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or blend methods based on each person's goals, symptoms, and daily life. That means clients can try an approach, give feedback, and adjust the plan over time so the work feels useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to touch base between longer sessions and practice skills in the moment. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible while supporting consistent progress.
