Renisha Oubre , LPC

Renisha Oubre is a school counselor, mental health counselor, and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 12 years of experience working with children, adolescents, couples, and adults. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns, including ADHD, abuse, psychotic and mood disorders, dual-diagnosis, PTSD, and substance use challenges. She also works with clients facing depression, anxiety, relationship and family-of-origin issues, and high-risk behaviors such as problematic alcohol use.

Her clinical stance is rooted in a client-centered approach in which she adopts a nondirective role, listening carefully to understand each person’s perspective and honoring their autonomy and self-direction. When clarification is needed, she checks for understanding to ensure alignment with the client’s experience. She integrates additional strategies and theories as appropriate to the individual’s needs, drawing from evidence-informed methods to tailor the work.

Renisha provides both individual and family counseling and has experience with clients of all ages and backgrounds. She frames counseling as a collaborative process in which the client is an active partner; honesty, openness, and a sincere desire to change are encouraged to maximize progress. She remains responsive to client feedback and adjusts the therapeutic course as needed to support meaningful growth.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Benefits

Renisha uses client-centered therapy to place the client’s perspective at the center of the work, offering a supportive, nondirective environment that helps people explore their goals and values. This approach can be particularly helpful for clients seeking greater self-understanding, improved decision-making, and strengthened personal agency.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a skills-focused method that identifies and modifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is effective for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical tools for coping and problem solving.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another approach she draws on when emotional regulation, interpersonal conflict, or impulsive behaviors are central concerns. DBT emphasizes skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to support more stable functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Renisha collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage transportation challenges, and maintain continuity of support. Licensed professionals can deliver many effective interventions remotely, allowing clients to engage in therapy from comfortable settings while working toward meaningful change.
