About Rene
Rene Jourdan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of experience in Idaho. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship problems, grief, parenting challenges, and family matters such as family of origin issues. Rene also lists work with trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar conditions, and coping with life changes.
Rene uses an integrated, person-focused stance in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to match techniques to what a person needs. In practice that can mean learning skills for emotion regulation, testing unhelpful thoughts, or identifying values and next steps.
She has experience in crisis services and in substance use disorder programs. That background informs how she plans safety discussions and works with people who have complex or co-occurring concerns. Rene has facilitated therapeutic groups such as coping skills and addiction-focused groups.
Sessions tend to alternate between talking through current problems and practicing concrete skills. Rene helps people notice patterns that come from their families of origin and then try new ways of relating and reacting. Practical strategies and short exercises are commonly part of work between sessions.
People who contact her can expect clear explanations of approaches and collaborative planning about goals and next steps. The focus is on usable tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take steps that match those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Online sessions using ACT often include brief exercises, values clarification, and simple skills to practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and then practice different responses. In an online format CBT can use worksheets, thought records, and role-play to change patterns that come from family of origin dynamics. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships that began in childhood and how they affect current connections. Online sessions can include reflective conversation and experiments in how a person relates to others, with attention to emotions and expectations. Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made and new issues come up. The biography does not list explicit session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If group work is of interest, she has experience facilitating therapeutic groups and that can be discussed when arranging sessions.Areas of expertise
