About Renee
Renee Alfieri is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people cope with addictions, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, and related concerns.
Renee uses direct conversation and practical steps to address day-to-day struggles. She listens to what’s happening now and helps people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way. Then she and the client try different ways of responding so small changes add up.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered work and mindfulness. That means Renee focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, while also paying attention to what matters most to the person. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when people need clearer goals and a plan they can try right away.
Across ten years she has worked with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, intimacy-related problems, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. She also assists with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career or life transitions. Renee notes attention to attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics among her additional areas of focus.
People can expect a straightforward style that emphasizes practical steps, goal setting, and checking progress. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. For new people she asks for a brief intake so sessions can begin with clear goals and next steps.
How Renee blends structured approaches for online work
Renee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT sessions often focus on clear goals, activity planning, and short exercises someone can practice between meetings. She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and reflecting what matters to the person. That approach supports making decisions that fit the client’s values. Mindfulness Therapy is another element she applies to help people learn simple attention skills for stress, anxiety, and managing strong emotions. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Renee will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust based on how they work for the client. She aims to match her methods to the client’s goals, preferences, and daily routines rather than sticking to a single technique.
