About Renisha
Renisha Oubre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, relationship problems, and mood concerns. She works with individuals facing addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her style is practical and person-focused so parents can get clear help fast.
Renisha draws on a client-centered approach that starts by listening. She tries to understand each person's point of view and respects their goals.
How Renisha works
From there she adds methods that match the person's needs, such as cognitive and behavioral strategies, skills from dialectical behavior approaches, and mindfulness techniques. Sessions can include short-term goal setting, skill practice, and steady problem-solving. Renisha also uses motivational interviewing to help people move through ambivalence about change.
Together she and a client decide what to try first and check progress along the way. She has 12 years of counseling experience and practices in Louisiana as an LPC. That background informs working with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar symptoms, family conflict, and issues related to attachment and abandonment.
Renisha offers conversations that aim to be direct and respectful. She encourages people to speak honestly about what they need and to raise questions if something is unclear. The focus is on steady, manageable steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

Online support options
How her approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding first, helping clients set their own goals and decide what matters most. It works well for people who want a supportive, respectful space to talk through parenting stress, grief, or relationship struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It often helps with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive actions. Those dealing with anger, intense mood swings, or relationship conflict can use these techniques in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is reviewed. This is a collaborative process that balances what the person wants with what works in practice.
Online therapy makes sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls let people hold focused sessions when travel is difficult. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be good for a quick check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging supports short updates, skill practice, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility so therapy can continue across different schedules and needs.
