About Rene

Rene Jourdan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Idaho with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and related struggles. Rene also supports people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and major life changes.

Rene uses an integrated, person-centered style in session. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based ideas to notice emotional patterns and how they affect relationships. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people develop clearer values and practical skills.

Her background includes more than five years providing crisis support through the North Idaho Crisis Line. She has overseen programs in family and peer support and in adult and adolescent substance use treatment. That experience informs her work with people facing suicidal thoughts, self-harm, addiction, and co-occurring diagnoses.

Rene leads and facilitates groups as part of her practice. She has run coping skills groups, basic mental health processing groups, and groups using the Matrix Model of addiction. She also manages a substance use disorder program and provides individual and group addiction treatment.

In sessions she focuses on naming hard emotions, improving communication patterns, and building skills that fit daily life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's online therapy options.

How Rene’s approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and how they shape interactions. In brief, EFT helps people notice repeating emotional patterns and practice new ways of responding to strong feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values while handling difficult thoughts and sensations.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rene will work together with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She blends tools from EFT, ACT and cognitive approaches as needed rather than using a single method exclusively.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm format options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. They also let group work and individual sessions continue when meeting in person is harder. Ask about current session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your schedule and needs.
