Rene Liberty, LICSW

Rene Liberty is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Washington with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on concerns such as relationships, family and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, sleep problems, career questions, and coping with life changes. Rene emphasizes listening first and helping people decide what they want the next chapter of their life to look like.

Her approach begins with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations are tailored to each person, not a one-size-fits-all plan. She pays attention to everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of goals and works with people to break those patterns down.

Rene uses practical tools and gentle feedback to tackle barriers. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test small changes, and build new routines that feel doable. Sessions often focus on immediate problems while also keeping sight of longer-term values and priorities.

Her background includes work supporting people with relationship and family conflicts, intimacy concerns, motivation and confidence struggles, and common mental health challenges like anxiety and depression. She brings eight years of experience to this work and adapts the process to what each person needs.

Many clients begin therapy nervous about the first step, and she aims to make starting feel manageable. The focus is on clear, practical conversations that help people move toward the life they want.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps people feel heard and then guides them to choose goals that matter. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choices, and personal responsibility, which can help when someone is facing big life transitions or questions about purpose.

Rene aims to collaborate with each person to find the right mix of approaches. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt the work as needed. Finding the best approach is an active, shared process rather than a fixed plan.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when people need brief support. It also allows maintaining regular momentum on habit change and thought work even when life is hectic.
