01About Renee
Renee Wells greets people with a calm, nonjudgmental style. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience in mental health. Renee focuses on practical ways to reduce worry and regain everyday functioning.
She helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, and problems with self-esteem. She also supports those coping with addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and major life changes. Her work often addresses relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, and parenting stress without bringing in family sessions unless an individual requests it.
Background and approach
Renee blends several well-known approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening shape the way she builds trust in sessions.
In the room she keeps explanations straightforward. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and understanding how past experiences affect current reactions. She aims to make small, usable changes that fit into a busy life.
Renee practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. People who choose her can expect a collaborative tone and a focus on steady progress over time.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Renee uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms through concrete exercises and practice. Attachment-based therapy is also part of her work and focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people build safer ways of relating and greater emotional connection. Client-centered therapy guides how she listens - she mirrors concerns and follows the client's pace so people feel heard and understood.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Renee discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods that match needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made or priorities change.
Online sessions make this process more convenient. Video calls let you work face to face from a chosen location. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help therapy fit into day-to-day life while keeping the focus on practical skill building and steady progress.
