About Ranee
Ranee Sahachartsiri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with 15 years of experience in behavioral health and social work. She focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship or parenting concerns. Her style is straightforward and strengths-based, aiming to help people build practical coping tools and tap into their resilience.
Ranee uses a client-centered approach that puts a person's goals and values at the center of sessions.
How Ranee works
She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are added when people want concrete steps and short-term goals. Sessions are aimed at finding what works for each person.
In a typical meeting she listens, helps set clear goals, and offers simple exercises to practice between sessions. She pays attention to cultural background and how family of origin, work stress, or caregiving roles affect daily life. People come for help with panic, social anxiety, mood disorders, feelings of isolation, workplace stress, and challenges tied to prejudice or discrimination.
She also supports those dealing with aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, or difficulties in communication. Ranee replies to messages in the evenings and keeps some early weekend morning times plus select weekday evening and Friday slots. She aims to collaborate on realistic steps toward better coping and clearer direction.

Online support options
How Ranee’s Approaches Work Online
Ranee commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs support to sort feelings and values. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood, and it often involves small exercises to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process and she treats it as a collaboration. Together the therapist and client will discuss goals, try a few ways of working, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. The plan can change as needs shift or progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and texting make it easier to fit short conversations into a busy day or to follow up between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can match format to their schedule and comfort.
