About Renee
Renee Guerrieri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, and coping with life changes. Renee also lists guilt and shame among her focus areas and often addresses those feelings alongside relationship and loss issues.
Renee trained at Tulane University, earning a Master of Social Work in 1997. Over nearly three decades she has provided individual and marital/relationship counseling and has experience supporting people through transitions such as divorce, aging, and end-of-life caregiving. Much of her recent work included serving active duty military members, veterans, and their families for 18 years, which shaped her approach to stress, loss, and adjustment.
Her clinical work draws on several evidence-based methods. Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new, value-aligned behaviors. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas in relationship work to identify and respond to emotional blocks.
She offers short-term, solution-focused care and psycho-educational sessions when helpful. Those sessions cover communication skills, “fair fighting” techniques, rebuilding trust, intimacy work, and coping skills for different life stages. If a specific need falls outside her experience, she will refer to another provider.
Renee adapts conversations and treatment plans to the person in front of her. She asks about goals, discusses practical steps, and focuses on skills people can use between sessions. Scheduling and session details are provided during the sign-up process.
How Renee’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that align with personal values. It can help when guilt or shame keeps someone from living in line with what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical techniques to test unhelpful beliefs and try different responses, which can reduce repetitive self-blame and improve day-to-day functioning.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people in intimate relationships identify and respond to underlying emotions that drive conflict and distance. It is useful when guilt, mistrust, or fear of closeness affects how partners relate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renee will discuss your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, EFT, or a mix will be most useful for the issues you bring.
