Rebecca Salazar

Rebecca Salazar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 23 years of clinical experience. She has spent decades helping people facing common stresses of life, including anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and caregiving strain. Her style is warm and interactive, and she treats therapy as a partnership with each person who comes in.

Rebecca keeps sessions practical and focused. She uses client-centered methods to listen and understand what matters most to each person. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going, and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness techniques to build coping skills.

Her background includes work with aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and family communication problems. She also supports people dealing with life transitions, divorce and separation, isolation, and caregiver stress. ADHD, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue are among other areas she addresses.

Sessions aim to create concrete steps people can try between meetings. Rebecca and the client set goals together and track progress in simple ways. Her approach favors short-term tools when those fit, and deeper work when that is needed.

Rebecca works from Texas and conducts therapy in English. She frames difficult emotions like anger and grief as understandable responses, and helps people find manageable ways to respond and move forward.

How Rebecca’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. It emphasizes respect, empathy, and working at the client's pace to set useful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches specific skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skill-building in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; it can help when emotions feel intense or overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That might mean trying practical CBT strategies, mixing in mindfulness exercises, or focusing on skills from DBT.

Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that online therapy helps fit sessions into busy schedules, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to check in during a lunch break or between appointments. Sessions can focus on building concrete tools to manage anger, reduce anxiety, and handle life transitions in ways that fit into everyday life.
