About Rene
Rene Jourdan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Idaho who centers her work on attachment and person-focused approaches. She frames sessions around practical steps and emotional connection to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes. Rene writes and talks plainly so clients can use strategies between appointments.
Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy with acceptance and behavior-focused tools. She draws from client-centered methods and cognitive behavior techniques to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior ideas are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Rene has 11 years of clinical experience and has worked extensively in crisis response in North Idaho. That background shaped her skill at short-term crisis stabilization and designing coping skills groups.
She has run and supervised programs for peer support and substance use treatment. In recent roles she has managed a substance use disorder program and led both group and individual addiction treatment. She has facilitated coping skills groups, basic mental health processing groups, and used the Matrix Model for addiction work.
Those group formats are a familiar part of her toolkit. In sessions she focuses on clear, usable strategies - for mood shifts, relationship struggles, parenting strain, or complex diagnosis combinations. People can expect straightforward conversation, focused goals, and collaborative planning to try between meetings.

Online support
Using Attachment and Action-Focused Methods Online
Rene practices Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered approaches. Attachment work helps people notice how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and reactions. ACT teaches acceptance of difficult thoughts and values-driven action to move toward meaningful goals. Client-centered methods emphasize listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to shape sessions around what matters most.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide whether attachment exploring, ACT exercises, or client-centered conversations fit best, and they adjust as needed over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, processing between sessions, or when writing things out helps. These options make it easier to keep consistent care while juggling work, family, and location constraints.
