Renee Guerrieri , LCSW

Renee Guerrieri is a Florida based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who combines nearly three decades of clinical experience with practical, evidence-based methods to support individuals, couples, and families. She holds a Master of Social Work from Tulane University, awarded in 1997, and brings 27 years of direct mental health counseling to her work. Her practice focuses on relationship challenges, grief and loss, intimacy-related concerns, parenting, and coping with major life changes, and she also addresses issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and end-of-life counseling.

Renee is certified to provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and often uses short-term, solution-focused approaches grounded in research. She is trained to deliver psycho-educational sessions that teach communication skills, fair-fighting techniques for couples, trust restoration, intimacy-building strategies, and practical coping skills for different life stages. For many years she has worked with active duty military members, Veterans, and their families, bringing a deep understanding of the particular stressors they face.

Known for offering respect, compassion, and unconditional positive regard, Renee tailors dialogue and treatment plans to each person or family. She aims to empower clients through collaborative goal-setting and skill-building, and when a specific need falls outside her expertise she will provide referrals to other qualified providers.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Renee Guerrieri

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - this approach is practical for anxiety, mood concerns, and adjustment issues. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to support couples in exploring attachment needs and strengthening emotional bonds, which can be especially useful for intimacy, trust, and relationship repair. Additionally, Renee integrates Client-Centered Therapy principles, providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and values guide the pace and focus of treatment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Renee works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Renee can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, geographical constraints, or differing comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access a licensed professional from home or another convenient location.
