Online therapy for adults in Maine & Virginia

Registered telehealth provider in South Carolina and Florida.

You’re getting through the day, but things don't feel as manageable as they used to.

You’re keeping up with work, family, relationships, and everything else that needs your attention, but you’re running on less patience and energy than you used to. Your mind stays busy, small things get under your skin more easily, or you find yourself needing more time alone just to decompress. Even when life looks fine from the outside, you can feel stretched thin.

Sometimes there’s a clear reason, like grief, a difficult relationship, burnout, or a major life transition. Other times it’s harder to pinpoint and feels more like an accumulation of “small things” over time. Anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries can make it even harder to step back and figure out what you actually need.

I’m Renée Parent, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering private-pay online therapy to adults in Maine and Virginia. My approach is collaborative and tailored to the person I’m working with. Sometimes therapy involves practical tools and strategies for managing what feels difficult right now. Other times, it means slowing down and looking more closely at the patterns, relationships, and experiences that keep getting in the way.

If you can relate to this, or you’re looking for a place to talk through what’s been going on in your life, I’d love to chat. You can reach out to schedule a free 20-minute consultation, and we can talk a little about what you’re looking for and whether working together feels like a good fit.

Currently accepting new clients in Maine and Virginia, with telehealth availability in Florida and South Carolina.
