About Renisha

Renisha Oubre, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She writes plainly and listens closely. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and on practical steps that fit daily life.

Oubre takes a client-centered stance and treats each person as the expert on their own life. She listens without directing, checks understanding, and partners with clients to set goals. Therapy sessions focus on clear strategies for coping, communication, and problem solving rather than abstract theories.

With 12 years of experience, she has supported people with a wide range of concerns. These include mood disorders, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family issues, and intellectual disability. She also helps with caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, and managing strong emotions like anger and impulsivity.

Her work draws on several practical approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she blends tools to match each person’s needs, teaching skills that can be used between meetings. The focus is on small changes that make daily life more manageable.

Therapy is framed as a collaborative process. Clients are invited to be open about what helps and what does not. That feedback guides adjustments so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Step 3

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respecting the client’s perspective. The therapist takes a nondirective role, checks understanding, and helps clients set goals that matter to them. This approach is useful for people who need space to tell their story and co-create solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical tools to notice and change thinking and behavior patterns. It often includes simple exercises and homework that help with anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT works well when people want concrete steps to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It is helpful for strong emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels most helpful. Then she adapts methods so the plan fits the client’s needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness or skills practice in their daily routines, and makes it simpler to continue care across changes in life.
