About Renee

Renee Capanna is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and eating-related concerns. She practices in Ohio and approaches each person as the expert on their own life. Her style centers on listening first and then offering tools that fit the person's needs and goals.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about difficult topics like self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. Renee emphasizes practical steps that people can apply between sessions. She also addresses relationship patterns and codependency when those issues come up.

Her background includes a range of therapeutic approaches, so she blends techniques to match each situation. That might mean gentle exploration of meaning, attention to present patterns, or working on specific thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. She aims to make therapy feel useful rather than simply theoretical.

Renee draws on long experience supporting people through grief, life changes, addiction concerns, and the fallout of trauma and abuse. She helps people talk through family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and problems with boundaries and control. Her work also covers career stress and parenting strain when those areas affect wellbeing.

People who choose her often want a collaborative, respectful process. Renee offers a steady presence while helping clients set achievable goals. She encourages small, consistent changes that lead to clearer thinking and more manageable days.

How Renee’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them identify their own strengths and next steps, which can be done in conversation during online sessions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. Online work can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new behavioral experiments, and tracking progress between sessions to build practical skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Renee will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking so they match your needs. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and what will make sessions most effective for your routine.
