Rene Jourdan, LCPC, is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who provides therapy for adults and families facing a wide range of mental health challenges. LCPC stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, a credential that reflects advanced training in clinical assessment and treatment.

This blend allows her to tailor interventions to each person or family, focusing on practical coping skills, shifting unhelpful patterns, and strengthening internal resources. She has particular experience supporting people with significant mental health needs, including suicidal thoughts and self-harm, substance use and addiction, and co-occurring diagnoses.

For more than five years Rene played a key role in crisis services through the North Idaho Crisis Line, and she has supervised programs in family and peer support as well as adult and adolescent substance abuse treatment. She currently serves as a program manager for a substance use disorder program and provides both group and individual addiction treatment. Rene also facilitates therapeutic groups, such as adult coping skills, basic mental health processing, and the Matrix Model of addiction, and she brings that group work experience into her broader clinical practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Rene Jourdan

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients identify their values and take committed action toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions by emphasizing psychological flexibility and practical steps. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relational patterns shape emotional responses and relationships. This approach supports people working through abandonment, attachment issues, relationship struggles, and family dynamics by exploring patterns and building safer, more secure connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through structured, skills-based work; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, coping skills, and many practical problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rene Jourdan works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors interventions and adapts techniques over time so therapy aligns with what each person hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations, and access licensed professionals from where the client is most comfortable. These options allow therapists and clients to focus on progress and problem-solving without requiring travel or office visits.
