    About Renisha

    Renisha Oubre is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, grief, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She draws on 12 years of experience to listen, reflect, and guide clients through practical steps toward change. Sessions are meant to be a collaborative effort where the client’s goals shape the work.

    Renisha uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person’s perspective and choices. She aims to understand how each issue affects daily life before suggesting strategies. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want help finding their own reasons to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques are also used to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional regulation.

    Her background includes work as a school counselor and mental health counselor, supporting people across many life stages. That experience informs how she helps with parenting concerns, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and mood conditions. Renisha also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and problems that affect communication.

    In sessions she expects honest participation and open feedback, and she will check understanding when needed. Practical skills, clear goals, and regular review of progress are part of the process. If a particular strategy does not fit, Renisha adjusts the plan together with the client.

    People often come for help managing high-risk behaviors, mood instability, anger, or questions about identity and relationships. She encourages clients to raise any suggestions or concerns so the work can be shaped to their needs.

  2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

    Renisha often blends Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients move from feeling stuck to taking small steps forward. Motivational Interviewing focuses on discovering personal reasons for change and resolving ambivalence. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect for the client’s choices, and shaping goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking how they feel, and changing course when something does not help. For practical online arrangements, confirm which session options are currently offered before booking. The therapist’s biography lists individual counseling and family counseling as formats, so ask whether those are available online. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or home more easily. Renisha will discuss scheduling and format details during the matching and intake process to find a setup that works for the client.
