Rene Jourdan, LCPC

Rene Jourdan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Idaho who brings 11 years of experience supporting adults and families through complex mental health and addiction concerns. She emphasizes compassionate, empathetic care that meets people where they are while helping them build practical strategies to move toward the life they want. Rene integrates person-centered principles with motivational interviewing, reality therapy, solution-focused work, narrative approaches, and cognitive-behavioral concepts to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Her background includes more than five years providing crisis services on the North Idaho Crisis Line, and she has specialized experience addressing significant mental health needs including suicidal ideation, self-harm, addiction, and co-occurring diagnoses. Rene has supervised family and peer support programs as well as adolescent and adult substance abuse services, and she currently serves as a program manager for a substance use disorder program while delivering both group and individual addiction treatment.

Rene values group modalities and has facilitated multiple therapeutic groups, including coping skills for adults, basic mental health processing groups, and the Matrix Model of addiction. She works with a broad range of concerns - from stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship, parenting, and career issues - using an integrated, strengths-based approach to help clients build resilience and practical coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Rene draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take actions that align with their values - an approach that can support stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and intimacy, making it helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship repair. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for depression, anxiety, and building coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rene works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adapts techniques over time so therapy remains aligned with the client’s progress and circumstances.

Online therapy with Rene is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and greater access to care. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver evidence-informed strategies in formats that fit varied schedules, lifestyles, and geographic locations, making it easier for people to engage in consistent, meaningful work toward their goals.
