Hello! My name is Renee and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Virginia and Florida. I have over 10 years experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including schools, outpatient, in-home, and crisis stabilization centers. I have had experience working with a broad range and severity of clinical issues. I have the most experience working with anxiety, family/relationship conflicts, and complex trauma. I also have experience working with depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, and cultural issues.
I use a person-centered, holistic, multicultural, and integrative approach in treatment. I work to provide you with the type of treatment that best fits your needs. I also start where you are, and focus on your goals for treatment. I primarily use evidence based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, dialectic behavioral therapy, and solution-focused counseling.
I would describe my style as supportive and engaging, and I am ready to help you. I like to work as a team and collaborate. As a team, together we can work on establishing concrete goals and steps for you to help overcome your current problems. I believe in taking it one step at a time, so that we can address your problems head on. We will take our time and work on wellness slowly, holistically, and consistently. I look forward to working with you and accomplishing your goals together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
Renee is an amazing therapist! I appreciate the way she challenges and encouraged me each week.
Renee is awesome! She is helping through a difficult time in my life.
I was really nervous about doing online therapy and being matched with someone I did not know. Renee reached out to me and communicated with me before our first video session. I was still unsure just because this is a new process, but she made me feel at ease relatively quickly. After one session I already started to feel better. She is an active listener, she is patient, she offers solutions that are doable when you are overloaded. I have felt listened to and genuinely cared for, even though I barely know her. I love that she helps me to focus on what I can control and offers steps and tools to move forward. I honestly believe this was a perfect match and highly recommend her services.
I’m looking forward to this journey and excited it’s with Renee!
Renee has been such a blessing in my life. She has helped me identify ways to prioritize my work and home life, and has had invaluable insights into the challenging relationships in my life.
I have not yet had a full video session, but she takes initiative sending me messages asking about how I’m doing and offering advice. I look forward to our upcoming appointment
I’ve only had one session with Ms. Totten but felt completely at ease, heard and understood. I think Ms. Totten had an excellent grasp on identifying my issues/concerns and quickly helped me set some goals and came up with a plan to move forward. Highly recommend.
I've had one session with her, but she checks in on me and genuinely cares. I haven't experienced that with a therapist in a long time, so I'm glad we matched up and I look forward to working with her
Renee is always there to respond and listen. I highly recommend her.
I’ve only been with her a short while and feel totally comfortable with her. She’ attentive and warm.
So far so good I have a lot of trust issues and she’s helping me break down those barriers and walls
Renee has a very calming, relaxed way of communicating with me. She actively listens to me and then will offer suggestions and advice on how to handle a situation differently than I have in the past. She also gives me ways to redirect my thinking, which is very helpful. I enjoy working with Renee.
I've only been in therapy with Renee for 2 sessions. So far, I'm really enjoying the work we're doing. She is thoughtful and professional and kind and strong. Exactly what I needed.
Renee is a great therapist. Even from the first session I felt a great lightness. She listens and NEVER takes sides or judges. She is strictly there to listen and help me in accomplishing my goals such as communication etc. Strictly recommend better health and Renee!
