Renee Guerrieri, LCSW

Renee Guerrieri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of experience supporting people through relationship struggles, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Renee aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She favors short-term, solution-focused work that targets clear goals. Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance and emotion-focused approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and rebuild connection. Sessions often include skill practice, communication coaching, and concrete coping strategies.

Renee also offers psycho-educational sessions that teach fair fighting skills, ways to re-establish trust, and tools to increase intimacy. She can help people develop social skills, improve communication, and handle caregiver stress or issues around aging and end-of-life decisions. If a need falls outside her experience, she will refer to another provider.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Tulane University and licensure as an LCSW in Florida. That clinical foundation supports a practical, respectful approach focused on each person’s unique goals. Renee aims to tailor conversations and plans to fit what matters most to the client.

She encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard. Renee seeks to offer steady support, clear tools, and a collaborative path forward for those navigating loss, life transitions, or relationship repair.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for managing anxiety, relationship patterns, and low mood. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and build committed actions that fit their priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work on connection and intimacy, helping people name and shift patterns that block closeness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Renee will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods so they match each person’s needs. She aims to combine practical skill building with attention to emotions and values during treatment.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat work well for shorter check-ins and ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, or other responsibilities while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
