About Renee
Renee DeVuyst uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and other life challenges. She is a New York licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience. Renee aims to meet each person where they are and build practical steps forward together.
Renee favors an empathic, person-centered style. She listens closely and reflects what she hears. That approach guides conversations about grief, trauma, relationship problems, and substance concerns so people feel understood before change is planned.
How Renee works
Cognitive behavioral techniques are added when useful to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Motivational interviewing supports people who are unsure about change or who want to strengthen their commitment. Solution-focused methods help create short-term plans and track progress toward concrete goals.
Her background includes work with people facing domestic violence, sexual abuse, process and substance addictions, compassion fatigue, and co-occurring concerns. She also supports those working through career strain, parenting stress, sleep and eating issues, and questions about intimacy and self-worth. Renee conducts sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. She works in English and practices out of New York as a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC).

How therapeutic approaches work online
Renee blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral methods to support practical change. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and understanding a person's viewpoint so they feel heard. This approach helps when someone is dealing with grief, trauma, low self-esteem, or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change habits.Finding the right fit is collaborative. Renee will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together the therapist and client choose which approaches to try, adjust them over time, and track progress with clear steps and homework when useful.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth sessions where visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, share quick updates, or work through smaller tasks in writing. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to schedule therapy around work, family, and caregiving demands.
