Renee Sharper

Renee Sharper is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and depression. She presents a calm, straightforward approach and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Renee emphasizes the client as the expert in their own story and aims to support people who want a clearer path forward.

With seven years of clinical experience and credentials as an LPC and LMHC, she draws on several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. Renee uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address painful memories, difficult feelings, and unhelpful thinking patterns. She blends those approaches with a client-centered stance that centers each person’s values and choices.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people set small, realistic goals. Her work can include skill-building for managing anxiety, steps to reduce avoidance, and practical ways to rebuild trust after relationship hurts. She also supports people navigating grief, career transitions, parenting strain, and complex life changes.

Renee pays attention to attachment and relational patterns that affect day-to-day life. That can look like talking through repeated expectations in relationships or learning new ways to ask for support. Her practical focus often includes coaching elements to help people move from insight to action.

She practices in Texas and offers care in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Renee commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on processing and resolving painful memories and reactions so those memories stop shaping daily life as much. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and aims to change how people relate so they feel more connected and secure.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what is working.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that is needed. Many people find that core therapeutic tools - values-based action planning, cognitive strategies, and trauma processing work - can be adapted to an online setting and practiced between sessions to support progress.
