Renee Kerns, LCMHC
About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. I have over 13 years of experience working as a counselor and over 18 years of experience as a social worker. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, parenting issues, ADHD, relationship issues, career difficulties, grief, loss, and bereavement.
Whether you just need someone to talk to or need assistance with a specific problem or concern, we can work together to meet your needs. My goal is to establish a therapeutic relationship that is not only respectful and compassionate, but also productive and enlightening. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and psychoeducational therapy. We will work together to explore problems and concerns, and develop goals to address those problems.
I look forward to working with you!

Renee is a great listener and asks thoughtful questions that have helped formulate what I need in my future relationships. I feel comfortable and safe in our appointments, she has been a tremendous help.

Renee was prompt, attentive, thoughtful, and professional. She was easy to get to know, always made me feel comfortable, non judgmental, and an excellent listener. Her delivery was genuine, and skill set appropriate and helpful.

When I first sought therapy with Better Help, I had gone through a series of rejections in my job search. My confidence and motivation had plummeted. Renee's support has been consistent and comforting for me, and she has helped me to see that my inherent traits and experiences that I perceived as handicaps were actually strengths that I can own (and in some cases even showcase to prospective employers). She also believes in me consistently, which is important especially when I feel burnt out and start to doubt that I'm on the right path!
