Renee Guerrieri, LCSW

Renee Guerrieri, LCSW, helps people facing relationship strain, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She writes short, direct sessions for people who want clear tools and steady support. Renee speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings.

She earned a Master of Social Work from Tulane University in 1997 and holds a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. Renee has about 27 years of clinical experience and has spent nearly two decades working with active duty military members and Veterans, which informs her understanding of life transitions and loss.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Those methods shape short-term, solution-focused work and longer conversations about values and meaning. Sessions often include learning communication skills, rebuilding trust, and practical coping techniques.

Renee also offers psycho-educational work on topics such as “fair fighting” for intimate relationships, social skills, and ways to manage caregiver stress and grief. If a request falls outside her experience, she will suggest another provider who may be a better fit.

She emphasizes respect, unconditional positive regard, and tailoring the plan to each person’s needs. The first step is picking what you want to change, then trying small, doable actions together. Renee encourages anyone ready to begin to take that first step toward support.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps that match what matters to you, which can help with life transitions and chronic worry. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and relies on empathy and respect to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift them, useful for grief, anxiety, and relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize values work, emotional bonding, or skill-building exercises.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people use online sessions to practice communication skills in a familiar routine or to follow up after an in-person meeting. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and goals so sessions are practical and manageable.
