Rene Jourdan, LCPC, takes a person-centered approach to therapy. She focuses on helping adults sort through stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and low self-esteem. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward so people can make changes that matter in daily life.
Rene draws on several therapy styles to match what a person needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment principles to help people notice values and take small steps toward them.
Her background includes more than a decade working in mental health across Idaho. Rene was part of the North Idaho Crisis Line for over five years, providing crisis support. She has supervised family and peer support programs and managed substance use disorder services.
Rene has experience running groups and individual treatment for people with addiction and co-occurring conditions. She has facilitated coping skills groups, basic mental health processing groups, and the Matrix Model of addiction. That group work informs how she structures practical skills and peer learning in sessions.
In meetings she takes a collaborative stance. Conversations focus on immediate concerns and on building skills for everyday life. People can expect clear, steady support that combines practical tools with attention to personal values and relationships.
Therapeutic approaches used for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking small actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together based on progress and preference.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the bio. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or after work. It can also support ongoing skills practice between sessions and make group-based skill work more accessible when offered. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and pacing to match what someone needs, helping therapy fit into everyday routines without promising a specific format.
