My name is Patty and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I earned my Master's Degree in 2021 and began my post-grad client hours for licensure. I have inpatient and outpatient experience with children, teens, adults, and the elderly. My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to help clients feel at ease in the relationship. Therapy is a loaded word with all sorts of stigmas and negative connotations that new clients may bring to the room. My first job is to provide an environment where the client feels safe, heard, and valued. Once a solid alliance is created then the real work begins.

Psychologist

Virtual • Florida


Hi! I'm Dr. Renee Clauselle. I'm a down to earth psychologist that has been in practice for over 20 years. I am passionate about my client's personal growth. My specialties include, but are not limited to treatment of anxiety, depression, life transitions, attachment styles, self worth, parenting, and more. I'm a former professor at St. John's University and a media psychologist for GMA. Check out some of my appearances on Youtube @dr.reneeclauselle1571.

I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck in patterns they can recognize but struggle to change, such as overthinking, repeating unhealthy relationship dynamics, difficulty regulating emotions, or feeling overwhelmed despite “knowing better.” Many have done therapy before and have insight, but want support translating that awareness into real, lasting shifts. My approach integrates psychotherapy with somatic work to help regulate and rewire the nervous system so change is not just understood but experienced. For clients who feel blocked or unable to move forward, I also offer emerging neurofeedback to support deeper brain based change and neuroplasticity. I work with diverse populations and tailor treatment to meet each client where they are while guiding them toward meaningful, sustainable growth.

I take a holistic approach to therapy, understanding that your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences are all deeply connected. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

I create a space where you can show up as you are without pressure or judgment. Together, we’ll look beyond surface-level symptoms to understand what’s really going on underneath. My goal is to help you find clarity, feel more grounded, and create meaningful, lasting change that actually fits your life.

Are you navigating grief, chronic illness or a rare disease, or a major life transition? Maybe you grew up in a family impacted by addiction, conflict, or instability, and want to explore how those experiences are showing up in your life today. These experiences can shape your boundaries, self-worth, and sense of responsibility for others—often influencing relationships, personal growth, and even physical health. In therapy, we’ll explore how your past and present connect, process what you’ve been carrying, and begin to shift patterns that no longer serve you—so you can move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with 32 years of dedicated practice, I have had the profound privilege of walking alongside individuals and families through life's most challenging moments.

I treat the whole person—not just the symptoms. Whether you are navigating the high-stress demands of a career, the deep pain of grief, or the complexities of family dynamics, I bring a perspective that bridges practical problem-solving with deep emotional healing.

I specialize in helping clients overcome:

  • Mood & Anxiety: Panic attacks, depression, OCD, and chronic stress.
  • Life Transitions: Divorce recovery, complicated grief, hospice/end-of-life care, and family restructuring.
  • Behavioral Health: ADHD management and addiction recovery.

My goal is not just to help you cope, but to help you thrive. I believe that healing happens in a safe, non-judgmental space where your unique story is honored.
