Ranee Sahachartsiri , LCSW

Ranee Sahachartsiri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in behavioral health and social work. As an LCSW, she is trained to provide clinical therapy and support for mental health and life challenges. Her practice has focused on adults aged 18 and up who are navigating life transitions, family of origin concerns, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress.

She uses a culturally competent, client-centered, and strengths-based approach to create a respectful space where people can explore their experiences and identify goals. Ranee emphasizes resilience and practical coping tools, helping individuals draw on inner strengths rather than allowing past events to dictate future possibilities. Her work supports clients in building self-awareness, strengthening relationships, and developing strategies to manage mood, stress, and life changes.

Ranee generally responds to messages in the evenings and has offered early morning weekend sessions, along with some availability on Fridays and weekday evenings. She approaches each therapeutic relationship with respect for the person in front of her and a focus on practical growth and recovery.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Ranee integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective and creating an accepting environment so clients can explore feelings and values. This approach helps with self-esteem, identity questions, and building confidence to make changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies and changes unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and stress management to develop concrete coping strategies.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool Ranee employs to support people who are ambivalent about change. It uses collaborative conversations to strengthen motivation and clarify goals, which can be useful for behavior change and managing life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ranee works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time to reflect progress and changes.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access consistent support even when in-person meetings are difficult.
