Rene Jourdan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy for adults. She uses straightforward, compassionate care to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. Rene’s style aims to meet people where they are and help them take manageable steps forward.

She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build committed action in everyday life.

She has 11 years of experience in community and clinical settings in Idaho. For more than five years she played a key role providing crisis support through a regional crisis line. That work helped shape her calm, direct approach when people feel overwhelmed or in immediate distress.

She currently manages a substance use disorder program and leads both group and individual treatment efforts. Group topics she has run include coping skills, basic mental health processing, and evidence-informed addiction group work.

People who choose Rene can expect clear goals, practical skills, and a focus on what will help day-to-day functioning. She works with complex presentations, including co-occurring concerns, and helps people sort priorities and try new ways of coping.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It is practical and goal oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and some addiction-related patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connection or loss can shape current reactions; it can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adapt techniques as work progresses. Clients and the therapist check in together about what is helping and what to change.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join group work or individual meetings from different locations, which can help continue treatment during life transitions. Talk with the therapist or service to learn which session styles are currently offered and which would meet your needs.
