About Renisha
Renisha Oubre is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and younger clients who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addictions, ADHD, and life changes. Her practice also includes concerns such as anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, and LGBT-related issues.
She uses a client-centered stance and takes a nondirective role in sessions. That means she listens first and tries to understand each person's point of view before suggesting ways forward. She checks in when something is unclear and supports clients in making their own decisions about goals and next steps.
In addition to client-centered work, she draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative ideas when they fit a person's situation. Those tools are used to help with specific problems such as managing strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, coping with loss, and addressing addictive behaviors.
Renisha has experience working with a wide range of concerns that often overlap, for example family and communication problems paired with mood or substance issues. She offers individual and family counseling formats and encourages active participation from the person seeking help. Her style is collaborative and direct about expectations for honesty and openness in sessions.
Clients who choose to work with her begin by sharing what feels most urgent. From there she and the client agree on goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed based on feedback and progress.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person’s own goals. Online sessions can follow the same pattern: the therapist listens, reflects understanding, and helps set priorities without directing the client. This approach is useful when someone is unsure what next step matters most.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises to test new ways of thinking. That structure works well in scheduled online meetings because homework and skill practice can be assigned between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be taught and practiced during remote sessions to help when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals and day-to-day demands. Plans are adjusted over time if something is not helping.
The practical benefits of online work depend on the formats she currently offers, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins between in-depth meetings, and reduce travel time. These practical advantages can help someone steadily address stress, relationship issues, grief, or career questions while keeping therapy manageable.
