About Rene
Rene Morago-Barton is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with eight years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and people coping with addiction or life changes. She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, family and relationship strain, grief, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and ADHD.
Rene uses plain, action-oriented strategies in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She also uses dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotional regulation skills and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and motivate steps forward.
Her background includes agency, inpatient, and private practice settings. That variety shaped how she listens and how she adapts tools for different situations. She has experience helping people who struggle with negative self-talk, mood instability, substance use, dissociation, and the effects of past abuse or trauma.
Rene often helps people working through attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family transitions, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. She also addresses first responder issues, forgiveness work, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Sessions focus on practical skills, coaching, and problem-solving alongside talking through difficult feelings. To get started she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that fit their values. ACT can be useful for guilt or shame that keeps someone from moving forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical for anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, and many day-to-day struggles.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can reduce overwhelm and help with mood instability and intense reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed during sessions.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. Different approaches lend themselves to skills practice, focused coaching, or longer trauma-focused work, and the therapist will recommend what fits the client’s needs.
