About Renee
Renee Brandon is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of clinical experience. She offers a direct, compassionate space where adults can be heard without judgment while they sort through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Parents who are feeling overwhelmed by caregiving or the demands of daily life often find practical guidance here.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions balance emotional processing with concrete strategies to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a primary approach used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build more effective coping skills. Renee also draws on years of leadership experience in behavioral health and healthcare operations. That background gives her insight into workplace strain, caregiver stress, and the pressures of juggling work and family responsibilities.
She uses that perspective to help clients set realistic goals and practical plans. Therapy with Renee can be short-term problem-focused or longer-term work for deeper change. She emphasizes trust, honesty, and real-world tools that people can use between sessions.
Clients don’t need to have everything figured out to begin - starting is often the most important step. Renee practices in Missouri and conducts sessions in English. She supports people navigating parenting challenges, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, life purpose questions, panic, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, women’s issues, and workplace problems.

CBT and practical therapy online
Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a central approach, which focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and the stress that comes with big life changes.The goal in sessions is to work together to find what fits each person. Renee will help clients choose the right tools and adjust approaches based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people keep face-to-face connection while fitting therapy into a busy schedule. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when video isn’t needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing written support between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain momentum, fit therapy into work or caregiving routines, and use the format that feels most practical for the moment.
