About Renee

Renee Capanna is an LCSW and LISW licensed in Ohio with 25 years of experience helping adults address stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with people on eating and body image issues, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, and parenting strain. Renee also focuses on family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and patterns such as codependency or control problems.

She uses practical talking and reflection in sessions so clients can name patterns that repeat from the past. Renee draws on Client-Centered methods to center each person’s perspective and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also integrates existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning, identity, and long-standing patterns.

Sessions often include concrete skills like stress management, coping tools, and steps to improve communication. Renee may use hypnotherapy techniques as one way to support motivation and reduce distress when appropriate. Her approach mixes discussion, skill practice, and exploration of family dynamics that still shape daily life.

People who come to her typically want to understand how childhood roles or attachment patterns affect current relationships and mood. Renee helps them spot those patterns and try new ways of responding. She emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She works in English and accepts international clients. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to talk about goals and next steps.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Renee uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the session focused on the client’s priorities and lived experience. That approach means the therapist listens first, reflects back what she hears, and helps people articulate their goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to pinpoint thinking and behavior patterns and to practice concrete skills for anxiety, stress, and mood management. Existential ideas are sometimes brought in to look at meaning, responsibility, and choices when people face major life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Renee will discuss options with each person and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, deeper exploration of family of origin patterns, or brief motivational techniques.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people work through family patterns from a familiar setting while meeting with a licensed professional who helps translate insight into concrete steps.
