More about Rena
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I have been a licensed therapist in Oklahoma for 6 years and primarily worked in the community counseling setting. I have been with BetterHelp since August of 2023 and have enjoyed it tremendously. Having the opportunity to work with individuals from such a variety of backgrounds and cultures has helped to promote my growth as a therapist. I have experience in helping clients with depression, trauma (from various sources), abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual), parenting issues, self-esteem, career difficulties, and relationship concerns (family, friends, or romantic). I believe in treating everyone with respect, non-judgement, and compassion. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

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.

understanding, helpful
I immediately felt comfortable with Rena. She set clear goals and boundaries for our sessions. I appreciate that she did not allow me to make excuses but to answer the questions honestly, even when the answer was hard.
Amazing. Great to talk to and always feel like she hears me and helps with whatever I need to talk through.
Rena has been x10 helpful in how far I have come to understanding myself, past trauma, relationships, and what I should prioritize in my life. Couldn't have asked for anyone better!
