About Renisha
Renisha Oubre is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, addictions, and several other struggles including ADHD and trauma-related issues. She helps people who find social situations or speaking up difficult by focusing on practical next steps in sessions.
Her core style is client-centered. That means she listens first and takes a nondirective role while honoring each person’s autonomy. She checks in often to make sure she understands how a client sees their situation and adapts what happens in sessions based on that feedback.
Renisha also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify thoughts and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She can introduce DBT-informed skills for managing strong emotions and mindfulness practices to help notice stressful feelings without reacting immediately.
Across sessions she uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify what they want to change and find small, doable steps toward those goals. She describes counseling as a collaborative effort where the client is an active partner and gives honest feedback when adjustments are needed.
Her background includes work as a school counselor and in mental health counseling settings. That experience informs how she supports people of different ages and life stages. Prospective clients in Louisiana should confirm the current session formats before booking and follow the site process to schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Renisha uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood, which can be done in conversation online or by phone. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, and those exercises can be guided in a session and practiced between meetings.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when strong emotions or impulsive actions are part of the problem. DBT skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness in short, teachable steps that translate well to verbal coaching and at-home practice.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life, and will adjust techniques based on feedback and progress.
The biography notes individual and family counseling as formats, but does not list other online session types. Confirm the current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can meet during a break or between commitments.
