About Rebecca

Rebecca Stallworth is an LCSW with 38 years of experience who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and life changes. She speaks English and Cantonese and works with individuals facing grief, trauma, relationship strain, and struggles with self-esteem or addiction. Her style is straightforward and person-focused so people know what to expect from the first session.

Rebecca draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people identify the patterns that keep them stuck. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values and take small, manageable steps toward them.

Attachment-based work and client-centered methods shape how she listens. That means attention to relationship patterns, how earlier connections affect current stress, and a steady, respectful stance in sessions. She blends mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas to teach skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Over her career Rebecca has done both individual and group psychotherapy, and she has provided grief counseling and support for people coping with major life transitions. She emphasizes client strengths and practical skills over labels, helping people set realistic goals and try out new ways of responding.

People who choose Rebecca can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance and collaborative problem solving. She helps clients build tools for calmer reactions, improved communication, and steadier daily routines.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, then take action toward what matters. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and motivation to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns and trying small experiments to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns from early life and helps people recognize how those patterns affect current interactions and stress responses.

Picking the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, past efforts, and what feels most useful, then suggest approaches to try. That plan can change over time based on what helps most in real life, so the choice is collaborative and flexible.

Confirm current online session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, allow quicker check-ins, and make it easier to practice new skills between meetings. Online work can support skill teaching, values-based planning, and noticing patterns in daily life without needing extra travel time, making it simpler to keep therapy consistent.
