Renee Dupuis, LPC

Renee Dupuis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, and addiction concerns. Renee focuses on practical steps people can use right away to cope and move forward.

In sessions she often helps people who have social anxiety, phobias, or struggles with drug and alcohol use. She also supports those facing work stress, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and major life changes. Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.

Renee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She helps clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to break harmful cycles. This gives clear tools for managing anxiety and addictive urges.

Her style is compassionate and down-to-earth. She listens, asks practical questions, and works with each person to build realistic plans. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings to make steady progress.

Renee draws on two decades of experience to tailor her work to each person's needs. She aims to create a space where adults can safely talk through hard moments and rehearse new ways of coping. People who want direct, evidence-based help with anxiety or substance concerns may find her approach useful.

How CBT and online work together for real change

Renee relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT breaks problems into concrete parts so clients can practice new responses to anxiety, cravings, and phobic avoidance. This approach is useful for stress, social anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and drug and alcohol concerns.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Renee will talk with each client about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which skills to try first and adjust the plan as progress happens, keeping the work practical and focused on daily life.

If you are considering online options, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when a full session isn't needed. Many people find that remote sessions help them maintain regular contact with a therapist while working on homework and real-world practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT tools to online work so clients keep moving toward their goals.
