About Renee
Renee Alfieri is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York who draws on ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addictions, and changes in life circumstances. She aims to meet each person where they are and offers steady, respectful guidance.
Renee emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered style. Sessions are shaped around the client’s goals and strengths rather than a rigid protocol. She listens first, then works with each person to choose strategies that fit their life and preferences.
Her approach uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different thinking patterns. She also uses mindfulness tools to help people calm their attention and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help clarify goals and find small, practical steps forward.
Renee has worked with a broad range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her additional focus areas include abandonment and adoption and foster care, and she brings experience addressing caregiver stress and blended family challenges.
She describes the first session as a chance to map priorities and agree on a plan. Progress usually mixes skill practice, brief homework, and conversations about real-life obstacles. Renee aims for clear next steps so people leave each session knowing what to try before the next meeting.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Renee commonly uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques. Client-centered work means conversations focus on your experience and goals while the therapist follows your lead and offers empathetic feedback. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns that affect mood and behavior and builds practical exercises to change them. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee will talk with you about what you want to change and what feels manageable. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust them as you go, so the plan stays aligned with your needs and preferences.
The biography does not specify which online session formats she uses, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins during a workday, and let people practice skills in their usual routines. Renee aims to help clients pick tools and rhythms that match everyday demands rather than expecting a perfect setup.
