About Renee Wells
Renee Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a board certified and licensed behavior analyst (BCBA) with over 20 years of professional experience in the mental health field. She brings a compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative approach to therapy, creating an environment where people can speak honestly about what is on their minds and begin to make meaningful changes.
Renee focuses on helping individuals overcome fears, anxiety, and stress that interfere with daily life. Many of these challenges are connected to trauma, loss, and other difficult events that can limit a person’s ability to process strong emotions. She uses a mix of proven methods to address these concerns, tailoring treatment to each person’s needs rather than relying on a single technique.
As part of a comprehensive treatment strategy, Renee incorporates EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - alongside approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This integrative style allows her to address symptoms from multiple angles and support long-term coping and resilience.
Renee views it as an honor to accompany people through important periods of change and healing, and she looks forward to meeting those who are ready to begin that work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Renee commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as core elements of her practice. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while DBT teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships - tools that can be especially helpful for intense emotions and interpersonal challenges.She also values a client-centered stance that emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration. That approach centers the person’s goals and experience, helping shape treatment in a way that fits individual needs and priorities. Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work; Renee partners with each client to determine what combination of methods best matches their concerns, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy with Renee is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access care from home or while managing other responsibilities, and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, ongoing support that fits into a client’s life.
