About Rebecca

Rebecca Garcia is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with more than 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical support for problems like stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, grief, anger, and self-esteem issues. Rebecca aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable for people who are worried and overwhelmed.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions are a place to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. She emphasizes skills and steps that can be used between meetings, not just ideas discussed in the room.

Rebecca uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify patterns and try small, achievable changes. Those methods are used to address mood concerns, relationship and communication problems, and coping with big life transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, postpartum challenges, and issues like abandonment or codependency.

Across two decades of work, Rebecca has helped people navigate career stress, financial strain, infidelity, and separation. She pairs practical tools with steady support so clients leave sessions with concrete next steps. Her style is calm, direct, and encouraging, with an emphasis on realistic progress.

To begin, Rebecca asks about current goals and what feels most urgent. That helps shape a plan that fits each person's life and priorities.

How Rebecca Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Rebecca draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practice different ways of thinking and acting that reduce stress and mood symptoms. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on small, practical steps that lead toward the goals a person names. That approach is goal-oriented and useful when someone wants faster, focused change on a specific problem like communication or parenting challenges.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. Rebecca helps clients identify what matters most, tries methods that match those goals, and adjusts the plan based on what works. The therapeutic direction is shaped by the client’s needs, preferences, and progress over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Rebecca aims to help clients apply therapy tools in everyday life regardless of how sessions are arranged.
