About Renee

LPC in Virginia with 24 years of experience, Renee Dupuis helps adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and life changes. She works with people dealing with social anxiety, phobias, and drug or alcohol problems. Sessions often cover self-esteem, career strain, ADHD concerns, and the stresses of young adulthood.

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. She focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions, such as coping techniques for anxiety and steps to reduce substance use. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented to make progress visible.

Her background includes more than two decades of clinical work in Virginia as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). That experience brings a lot of real-world examples of what tends to help with social fears, addiction patterns, and midlife transitions. Renee draws on that practical experience rather than theory alone.

Typical sessions look at immediate problems and the habits that maintain them. She helps people build routines, learn anxiety management tools, and plan safer approaches to substance use reduction. Career and self-esteem topics are handled with concrete tasks and short practice exercises.

Renee asks new clients to outline current concerns and goals in a brief intake. From there she and the client set measurable steps and review progress regularly. People who prefer clear plans and hands-on strategies often find this approach fits their needs.

How Renee applies CBT to online work

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that increase stress and anxiety, then practice new ways of thinking and acting. CBT sessions often include brief exercises, thought records, and homework tasks that reduce avoidance and build confidence in everyday situations.

When addressing addictions, she focuses on concrete behavior changes and planning. That involves tracking patterns, identifying triggers, and creating step-by-step strategies to reduce harm or substance use. For social anxiety and phobias, she guides graded exposure practice to rebuild comfort in specific situations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. Renee collaborates with each person to match goals and preferences to practical techniques. She will review what helps, adjust tactics over time, and agree on measurable steps together.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or work break, avoid commuting, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can also assign written exercises between sessions to keep momentum.
