Jennie L Barnes, LCSW

Renew Counseling, LLC, based in Maine and operating as Renew Online Counseling, LLC in Florida, is a virtual safe space for adult mental health therapy. Led by Jennie L. Barnes, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker, we are committed to providing authenticity, empathy, and a positive focus to promote emotional healing. We utilize creativity, intuition, and evidence-based methods like acceptance and cognitive therapies (ACT and CBT) to discover how thoughts control our emotions, which in turn, produce our behaviors. Our approach encourages acceptance and gratitude, empowering individuals to respond effectively to stressful events rather than reacting.
