About Renee
Renee Alfieri is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as addictions, relationships, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing grief, parenting stress, career decisions, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar symptoms.
Renee uses straightforward conversation to help people identify patterns that keep repeating from their family of origin and childhood. She listens to what matters most and then helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than long lectures or jargon.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and Mindfulness practices to build calm and focus. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when people want to change habits or make a plan for the next steps.
Renee’s work often looks at how early family roles and expectations still shape relationships and choices today. She helps people notice those patterns, try new behaviors, and evaluate what works. The process is paced to each person’s needs, with regular check-ins on progress.
Clients can expect a practical, goal-oriented style that balances short-term steps with deeper reflection. Renee speaks English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Renee’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s perspective. It’s about being heard and shaping goals from what matters to the person. This approach suits concerns like self-esteem, relationship patterns, and family of origin issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and habits linked to addictions. Mindfulness Therapy adds brief practices to improve attention and reduce reactivity, useful for anxiety, anger, and concentration struggles.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their needs and goals. That choice can shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also make it possible to continue regular appointments when life is hectic or when meeting in person is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt activities like CBT worksheets and mindfulness exercises to the online setting so the practical work continues across sessions.
