About Renisha
Renisha Oubre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting strain, grief, and problems around guilt and shame. Her background also includes work related to ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, and challenges tied to identity and family of origin.
She uses a client-centered approach and takes a nondirective role in sessions. That means she listens first and tries to understand each person's point of view before suggesting steps forward. She checks for understanding and respects a person's autonomy, aiming to support their decision-making rather than impose a plan.
Renisha draws on several practical methods alongside client-centered work. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify thinking patterns that keep feelings stuck. She incorporates dialectical behavior strategies to teach coping skills for strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing may also appear when they fit a person’s goals.
Her prior experience includes school counseling and work with people facing mood disorders, substance concerns, trauma, and high-risk behaviors. That range informs how she structures sessions and the kinds of strategies she suggests. Sessions involve collaboration - the person and Renisha set goals and adjust the work as needed.
People who come with questions about guilt or shame often talk through specific situations and the self-critical thoughts that follow. Renisha helps name those patterns and practices ways to respond differently, with attention to the person’s values and choices.
How her approaches translate to online work
Renisha commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding your perspective, then shaping the work around your goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thinking patterns and practical behavior changes that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal skills when those tools fit the situation. These methods can help when emotions feel intense or when patterns of reacting cause repeated problems in relationships and daily life. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative - she will help figure out the best fit based on your needs, goals, and preferences.
Session formats were described in the original biography as individual and family counseling. If you plan to meet online, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. The focus remains practical: adapting methods like CBT or DBT skills teaching to the online setting so they work within your everyday routine.
