About Renee
Renee Capanna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating-related concerns, self-esteem, and motivation. Renee emphasizes that each person is the expert on their own story and brings many strengths to the work.
Her approach centers on listening and helping people use their strengths to handle hard moments. She uses client-centered work that keeps the person's goals in view. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to address anxious thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily life. She also draws on existential ideas about meaning and choices when people feel stuck.
Renee has worked across settings during her 25-year career and has helped people with grief, relationship struggles, addictive behaviors, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with body image, attachment and family-of-origin issues. Practical skills and clearer thinking are frequent parts of her sessions.
Hypnotherapy and Jungian ideas are among the methods she uses when they fit a person's goals and comfort level. She helps people who struggle with control issues, codependency, commitment concerns, and feelings of emptiness find clearer next steps. Sessions can include talking through recent events, practicing coping strategies, and testing small changes.
Renee asks for courage in getting started and offers steady support during the work. She frames progress as gradual and individualized. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and any practical details they need to plan their first visit.
How Renee’s approaches translate to online work
Renee commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clarifying goals, and following the person's priorities so they lead the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying patterns of thinking and behavior, then practicing small changes to reduce distress and improve functioning.She also draws from Existential Therapy when people are wrestling with meaning, choice, or feeling stuck. That approach helps name difficult questions about purpose and responsibility and supports deciding on practical next steps. Together these approaches give tools and perspective for handling guilt, shame, anxiety, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining listening-based work with CBT exercises or bringing in existential or Jungian ideas when they seem helpful.
