About Rene
Rene Jourdan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of clinical experience in Idaho. She works with adults who face anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, trauma, and related challenges. She also lists focus areas such as grief, parenting strain, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, and bipolar mood concerns.
Rene uses a practical, problem-solving style in sessions. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based and attachment-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions may include skills practice, thinking-pattern work, and conversations about behavior choices.
Her background includes more than five years providing crisis services through a regional crisis line. She has managed programs for substance use disorders and supervised family and peer support initiatives. That work included group and individual addiction treatment and program coordination.
Rene has led therapeutic groups such as coping skills, basic mental health processing, and the Matrix Model for addiction. That group experience informs how she structures skills practice and shared learning in sessions.
People who meet with Rene can expect concrete steps, regular check-ins on goals, and use of therapeutic tools drawn from CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based approaches, client-centered work, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How cognitive and acceptance approaches work online
CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. Online CBT sessions typically include tracking thoughts, practicing skill exercises between meetings, and reviewing what worked and what did not. ACT helps people notice values and take committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; sessions often use exercises to clarify values and set practical goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and connection that influence current relationships and helps people try different ways of communicating and responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and will suggest methods that fit those needs. That discussion is collaborative and may lead to using CBT techniques alongside ACT or attachment-focused ideas depending on what is most useful.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports doing skills practice between meetings and lets group-based work continue without everyone needing to travel. Many people find this flexibility helps them keep consistent appointments while trying new ways of thinking and behaving.
