Ranee Sahachartsiri, LCSW

Ranee Sahachartsiri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in behavioral health and social work. She focuses on helping adults who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Her work also includes attention to aging and geriatric issues and the stresses that caregivers often face.

Ranee uses a client-centered style that looks for each person's strengths and resilience. She helps people name what matters to them and build practical coping tools. Sessions emphasize concrete steps rather than long lectures, and she aims to help clients move forward without being defined by past hurts.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies. That mix supports practical problem solving, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and setting manageable goals. She also pays attention to cultural background and family of origin influences when they are relevant to a client's concerns.

Ranee has experience working with adults 18 and older on relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, workplace stress, social anxiety, panic, and mood disorders. She commonly supports people facing isolation, guilt, shame, and issues tied to prejudice or discrimination.

Her schedule often includes early weekend mornings, some Fridays, and weekday evenings, and she typically responds to messages in the evenings. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session based on the therapist's listed availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Ranee commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's priorities, helping people feel heard while identifying their own strengths. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teach concrete skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She combines these approaches with motivational interviewing when clients are weighing change. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation in small steps. Together these methods support practical goal-setting and problem solving in sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Ranee will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts tools and pacing based on what the client prefers and what seems most helpful as work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel, and because sessions can be scheduled at convenient times such as early weekend mornings or weekday evenings. Discussing preferred scheduling and session style during the first meeting helps make the work practical and workable for everyday life.
