Ranee Sahachartsiri, LCSW

Ranee Sahachartsiri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience supporting adults through significant life challenges. She works with individuals age 18 and up who are navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting difficulties, self-esteem struggles, and transitions that require new coping skills.

Ranee practices in a culturally competent, client-centered, strengths-based manner, helping people draw on resilience and inner resources to move forward. Her approach emphasizes collaboration - she helps clients learn about themselves, reframe past experiences, and develop practical tools so the past does not determine future potential. She integrates evidence-informed techniques to address mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and other areas like communication problems and family of origin issues.

Clients can expect guidance tailored to their background and goals, with attention to multicultural concerns, workplace stress, and the emotional impacts of prejudice or discrimination. Ranee generally responds to messages in the evenings and offers early morning weekend sessions, with some availability on Fridays and weekday evenings. She is honored to partner with clients on a journey toward wellness, recovery, and greater peace within themselves.

Client-Focused Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work

Ranee uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's goals and experiences guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and collaborating with the client to identify strengths and priorities, which is helpful for relationship challenges, self-esteem work, and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and stress by building new coping skills and problem-solving habits.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool Ranee draws on to support change when clients feel unsure or stuck. It emphasizes exploring ambivalence, strengthening personal motivation, and setting achievable goals in a respectful, client-led way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process - Ranee partners with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy with Ranee is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from different locations and schedules, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
