Sadie Renander

Sadie Renander is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) based in Nebraska. She brings ten years of direct clinical experience and a longer history in mental health roles across residential, outpatient, in-home, and hospital settings. Sadie aims to be practical and down-to-earth when helping people navigate hard moments.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Family and Youth Services/Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University. Over the years she has worked often with people affected by trauma, abuse, depression, and anxiety. She also supports those facing family stress, parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, and anger issues.

Sadie favors a person-centered style. She starts by listening to what matters most to each person and then tailors the work to those goals. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where measurable steps are set and tracked together.

Clinically, she uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and Trauma-Focused methods, adapting techniques to fit the situation. Sessions focus on building trust, identifying practical steps, and developing coping skills that can be used between appointments.

People who do best with her tend to want straightforward guidance and an empathetic listener. She works to make talking about difficult things feel manageable and to help people find clearer ways forward.

How Sadie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on building safe, reliable connections between the therapist and client. It helps people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of responding that feel more reliable and secure.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try small experiments, and learn practical skills for anxiety, anger, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals shift or new challenges appear.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing quicker check-ins around work or family schedules. It also supports using worksheets, thought records, and in-the-moment coaching during the session. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know what is offered and what will fit your routine.
