Sadie Renander, LPC, LMHP

Sadie Renander is a licensed counselor who brings a warm, person-centered approach to therapy. She holds credentials as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and as an LMHP - Licensed Mental Health Practitioner - and practices in Nebraska. With extensive experience across residential, outpatient, in-home, and hospital settings, she has spent many years working with children and families facing trauma, abuse, relationship conflict, depression, and anxiety.

Sadie earned a Master of Science in Family and Youth Services with a concentration in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University in 2012. She emphasizes practical, evidence-informed methods and specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Trust-Based Relational Intervention. She also adapts other modalities when a different approach better meets a clientâs needs, believing there is not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Her practice begins by getting to know each person and what they hope to accomplish in therapy. Sadie foregrounds empathy, connection, and collaboration, treating therapy as a team effort focused on measurable goals. She aims to create a space where clients can explore challenges and build sustainable strategies for coping and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Sadie integrates several evidence-informed methods to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and focuses on building trust and secure connections - it can be helpful for attachment issues and family relationship challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the clientâs own goals, creating space for individuals to explore concerns at their own pace and identify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sadie works collaboratively with each client to choose or adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences, regularly checking in to ensure the plan feels like a good fit.

Online therapy with Sadie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers to care. These options support consistent access to a licensed professional and allow therapy to fit into a variety of lifestyles and routines.
