Getting to know Renee Gonzalez

Hi there, I'm Renee! My name is Renee Gonzalez. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Bakersfield, CA, and I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Phoenix. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults, specializing in depression, anxiety, stress, and anger management using CBT, DBT, and client-centered therapy. My approach to therapy varies based on the client's needs. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy, as these modalities help me collaborate with clients to achieve their goals. I focus mainly on adolescents and young adults, especially those dealing with social pressures, challenges, and life transitions. I aim to help individuals navigate these difficulties, improve how they feel, and build skills for a more positive outlook on life. My communication style is personable, honest, and calm. I want my clients to feel comfortable and confident sharing anything related to their challenges. I take pride in listening without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare began as a young adult helping families and children access community services. I found that many trusted me, which inspired me to continue supporting others through therapy. Goal setting in therapy is a collaborative process where we identify what you want to accomplish. Together, we will get to know one another, work toward your goals, and track your progress.
