About Renee Wells

Renee Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field. As an LPC, she holds state licensure to provide counseling and psychotherapy and brings a compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative style to her work. Renee creates an environment where people can speak openly and explore the patterns, losses, and traumatic experiences that often underlie persistent anxiety, stress, and avoidance.

She specializes in addressing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related challenges, sleep and eating concerns, parenting and caregiver strain, anger, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Her approach blends evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs and goals. Renee often integrates EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - into a broader treatment plan and commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other empirically supported techniques to help clients process difficult emotions and develop practical coping skills.

Renee approaches each case with sensitivity to attachment history, life transitions, and complex co-occurring issues, guiding clients through tailored strategies that address both symptoms and underlying patterns. Her focus is on thoughtful, collaborative care grounded in proven therapeutic practices.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms and shift patterns that maintain distress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and developing steady coping strategies when situations feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee works with each person to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress and challenges emerge. Licensed professionals aim to tailor treatment plans rather than offer a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, manage ongoing support between sessions, and access care from home or while traveling. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care and adapt formats to what works best for each individual.
