About Rebecca
She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single technique. That means sessions focus on practical tools tailored to the person in front of her. Rebecca listens first, then helps identify small, manageable changes that reduce distress and increase daily coping.
Rebecca draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices in her work. She also applies client-centered principles to keep conversations grounded in the client's goals and values. These methods are used to address problems such as addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship conflict, and chronic pain concerns.
Her background includes licenses as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, and a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. Rebecca trained and practiced across different settings over 16 years, bringing that experience into one-on-one sessions that aim for steady progress.
People who reach out can expect straightforward, empathetic support focused on real-life coping. Rebecca helps clients break down problems into steps, practice new skills, and reconnect with sources of meaning and purpose.

How Rebecca blends proven approaches for online work
Rebecca commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into sessions. ACT helps clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can be useful for issues like anger, grief, and life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep.She also uses client-centered therapy ideas to keep the work grounded in each person's goals. Finding a good fit is collaborative: the therapist and client choose which approaches to emphasize based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress and challenges emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it helpful for practicing skills in their everyday routines while keeping momentum between appointments.
