About Renee

Renee Adams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 13 years of experience. She centers sessions on each person’s unique story and strengths. Renee aims to help people facing depression, anxiety, stress, self esteem struggles, career concerns, and major life changes. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort where the client’s goals guide the work.

Her background includes work across the legal system, inpatient and outpatient mental health, and medical and hospital settings. Those roles shaped a broad view of how stressful events and health challenges affect daily life. Renee draws on this varied experience to tailor practical steps for managing mood, stress, and role changes.

In session she follows a client-centered style that keeps the person’s own knowledge and priorities at the center. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable changes that add up over time. Sessions often include concrete coping strategies and goal-setting aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.

Renee also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver strain, first responder and veteran concerns, postpartum and pregnancy-related mood changes, and end-of-life or hospice stress. She addresses workplace and social anxiety challenges with direct, useable tools.

She conducts therapy in English and works within the scope of her California LCSW license. To begin, visitors choose the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How client-centered and solution-focused work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It prioritizes listening, reflection, and following the client’s goals so sessions match what matters most. This approach can help with self esteem, depression, and stress by building on existing strengths.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that move someone toward their goals. It emphasizes clear, short-term steps and regular review of progress. This is useful for people wanting concrete coping tools for anxiety, workplace issues, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as goals change and progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and goal-setting work so it fits into everyday routines and commitments.
