Renee Capanna, LCSW, LISW

Renee Capanna is a licensed social worker with 25 years of practice in Ohio. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, eating and motivation issues, and build self-esteem and confidence. Renee emphasizes each person's strengths and works alongside clients as they take steps toward a more satisfying life.

Renee uses straightforward, person-focused methods to address daily struggles. She listens for what matters most and helps people set practical goals for change. Sessions often focus on coping skills, clearer communication, and small experiments to test new ways of handling problems.

Her background includes long-term work with people facing grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, career transitions, and parenting stresses. She also attends to attachment concerns, abandonment issues, body image, codependency, and family of origin patterns. This range reflects many years helping people untangle complicated life patterns.

Renee’s approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and elements from existential and Jungian thinking and hypnotherapy. She tailors methods to each person’s needs, mixing practical skill-building with deeper reflection when useful. Conversations are guided by the client’s priorities and pace.

To start, she asks people to name their immediate concerns and desired changes. From there Renee works on steps that fit daily life, helping clients practice new responses and track progress. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where small changes add up over time.

How Renee’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Existential Therapy examines meaning, choices, and personal values to help people facing big life questions and transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and how each method fits the issue at hand. This collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques and adjust what isn’t helpful.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing time spent traveling. Online work can make it easier to check in during a lunch break or attend from a location that reduces commute time.
