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.

Renee was easy to speak with, and I highly recommend her to anyone who not only needs the clinical view but also shares some faith in God like I do too.

Love that I can have Renee in my corner and in my pocket. She lets me speak freely without judgment and even shares laughs with me. Refreshing to have a therapist that cares and listens.

Renee has really helped my identity issues that I may have been avoiding without realising it myself. It's refreshing to speak with Renee who has a clear and open perspective on things that are going on in my life as some times it is difficult to communicate and express to those closest to me. I appreciate the sessions and find them to be a great time to self reflect and set goals for the week for myself

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’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.

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.
