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.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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!
