Renee Capanna, LCSW, LISW

Renee Capanna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 25 years of professional experience in Ohio. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating issues, self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. Renee works from the view that clients know their own stories and already carry strengths they can use to change difficult patterns.

She helps people who keep putting others first or who feel overwhelmed by other people's moods and crises. In sessions she talks through practical ways to manage anxiety, reduce stress, and address eating and body-image struggles. She also supports people coping with grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and major life changes.

Renee uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She also integrates cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. At times she draws on existential questions to clarify values and meaning when life changes feel disorienting.

Her practice also includes hypnotherapy and Jungian-informed ideas for people interested in symbolic work, imagery, and deeper patterns that repeat across relationships. Sessions tend to be conversational and practical, with space for slower reflective work when needed.

Over her career Renee has worked with a wide range of concerns related to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment, codependency, and caregiver stress. She describes the first appointment as a chance to get clear on immediate problems and set simple, achievable goals together.
