About Renita
Renita Harrigan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama who centers her work on practical, evidence-based techniques. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. Renita also supports those dealing with relationship and communication problems and people facing life changes that feel overwhelming.
She draws on 12 years of counseling experience to help clients untangle everyday struggles. Sessions aim to be straightforward and solution-focused, with room to talk about emotions and patterns that keep problems repeating.
How Renita works
Renita uses clear tools to build coping skills and improve how people relate to others. Renita often helps people working through parenting strain, blended family issues, and the challenges first responders face. She also addresses self-esteem, self-love, life purpose, and compassion fatigue.
These areas are approached in simple steps so progress can be noticed between sessions. People meet Renita to sort through conflict, repair communication, or recover from trauma and abuse. She emphasizes realistic goals and small, manageable changes.
The practice is intended to be a collaborative space where clients set the pace. To begin, she asks people to identify what matters most to them and then tailors practical strategies to those goals. Renita encourages honest conversation about setbacks and successes so plans can be adjusted over time.

Evidence-based approaches for online care
Renita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more useful ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach centers on building concrete coping skills and behavioral steps to manage stress, trauma responses, and compassion fatigue. Both methods aim for small, measurable changes that can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and tailor methods to your goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps decide whether to prioritize coping skills, communication practice, or processing difficult memories first.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, brief problem-solving, or when writing feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care from different locations.
