Renette Herrera, LMFT

Her style is warm, interactive, and rooted in respect. She aims to help people feel heard and begin making small, steady changes.

Herrera uses approaches that help people name and shift unhelpful patterns. Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge negative thoughts.

Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are introduced to reduce anxiety and reactivity. Motivational interviewing techniques support change when addiction or avoidance is present.

In the therapy room she works at the client’s pace and centers what matters most to them. Conversations are direct but compassionate, focusing on actions a person can try between sessions.

Topics commonly addressed include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family and family-of-origin problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and substance use issues.

Trauma, post-traumatic stress, and first responder stress are within her scope of practice as well. Sessions are available in English and offered remotely through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the person’s needs. Herrera aims to help clients build confidence, improve communication, and create more peaceful daily routines.
