Renee Lafriniere , LMHC, LPCC

Renee Lafriniere is a licensed therapist practicing in Florida who brings 25 years of clinical experience to her work. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), she combines professional training with a compassionate, person-focused style to support people through challenging emotional moments and transitions.

Her practice emphasizes help for depression, anxiety, relationship concerns and broader personal growth. She works across the span of adult life, from young adulthood through aging and end-of-life transitions, offering guidance for coping with grief, exploring life purpose, and navigating shifts in family and career roles. Renee pays close attention to issues of self-love, communication skills, social connection and recovery from isolation or shame.

Renee particularly enjoys working with women, multicultural populations and individuals experiencing significant life changes, bringing a holistic perspective that links practical strategies with deeper self-understanding. She aims to create a collaborative, supportive environment where clients develop insights and actionable tools for resilience. Her approach is grounded in empathy and tailored to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Renee uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client’s concerns and goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening and collaboration so individuals can explore feelings, build self-understanding and strengthen internal resources to face life’s challenges.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress, and it pairs well with conversations about relationships, coping skills and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Renee works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. The aim is to tailor care so it feels useful and sustainable.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions without travel, support continuity during life transitions and allow therapists and licensed professionals to focus on meaningful, goal-directed work with clients.
