Renee Rivers

Renee Rivers

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I’m Renée Rivers, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in South Florida. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, teens, and families navigating trauma, identity, and major life transitions. As a first-generation Haitian-American woman, I deeply understand the cultural and intergenerational layers that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. My clinical work is grounded in empathy, accountability, and authenticity, I create a space where you don’t have to explain “everything” because I hold space for complexity. I am especially passionate about helping clients unlearn survival patterns that no longer serve them and redefine success, connection, and rest on their own terms.

I’ve worked in school settings, community mental health agencies, and now lead my own private practice, Reflective Rivers Therapy & Consulting. I hold a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Counseling with a specialization in Couples and Family Therapy.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Laredo

Finding family therapists in Laredo starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns, and relationship patterns across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match the concerns you want to address.

In a mid-sized city like Laredo, your search may include therapists with local offices as well as therapists who offer virtual appointments across Texas. Virtual care can expand your options if you need more scheduling flexibility or want to include family members in different locations. Family sessions may involve the full family, smaller groups, or individual members, depending on the goals of care. Before booking, read therapist bios to understand how each therapist structures sessions, who they typically work with, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Laredo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists, review upfront cost estimates, and see who is accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway before booking. You can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
