About Renee
Renee Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with two decades of experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or life changes. Her style is kind, collaborative, and straightforward so clients can talk about what matters most.
Renee helps people understand how past events and relationships shape current reactions. She uses practical tools to manage worry, improve sleep and eating patterns, and cope with grief or loss.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and the strain of major life transitions. Her approach blends relationship-focused work with evidence-based strategies. That can mean exploring attachment patterns, using cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, and drawing on acceptance-based skills to live with difficult feelings.
She lists the Gottman Method among the approaches she uses for relationship and communication concerns. Sessions are aimed at clear, usable changes rather than only talking about feelings. Renee helps clients set concrete goals, practice new ways of relating, and build steady coping habits.
She works with adults on issues like intimacy, parenting stress, career decisions, and complications from chronic illness. Renee has worked in mental health for 20 years and brings that practical experience into each session. People who prefer a direct but compassionate therapist may find her approach helpful when they need tools and understanding to move forward.

Online support
How Renee’s approaches translate to online work
Renee uses a mix of approaches to help clients get practical results. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and connection between partners through clear skills and structured conversations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people how to notice painful thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating that began in close relationships and helps people create steadier emotional connections.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Renee will work with each client to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying out techniques, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants to avoid being on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a quick strategy is needed between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy days.
