Rene Morago-Barton, LMHC

Rene Morago-Barton is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship strain, and codependency-related patterns. Rene uses straightforward talk and practical tools to address what is causing day-to-day overwhelm.

Rene trained in psychology and clinical counseling and has worked in agency, inpatient, and private practice settings. That range gave her repeated exposure to different life situations and needs. She draws on that background when deciding what to try first in a session.

Her clinical approaches include cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work, and client-centered methods. In practice she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and manage intense emotions. Sessions often focus on skills for handling racing thoughts, mood shifts, and substance use triggers.

People commonly come to Rene for help with parenting stress, blended family challenges, grief, low self-esteem, and caregiver strain. She also supports those coping with abandonment, attachment wounds, and communication problems that leave them feeling stuck.

Rene asks practical questions and sets clear goals with each person. She combines evidence-informed techniques with focused coaching to reduce avoidant patterns and build steadier responses to stress. To begin, she asks people to describe their immediate concerns so the first session can be useful right away.
