Rebecca Hackett

Rebecca Hackett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping people get through hard seasons of life, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship trouble, and coping with life changes. She welcomes direct, plain conversation and works with clients who want practical improvements in day-to-day functioning.

Rebecca listens for the things that keep a problem going, not just the immediate symptoms. She asks about past experiences that still affect daily life and looks for patterns that fuel anxiety, mood shifts, or anger. Sessions often blend skill building with deeper processing so people can both cope now and reduce what keeps recurring.

She uses a mix of well-studied approaches, drawing from cognitive and behavioral ideas, mindfulness, acceptance strategies, and trauma-focused methods when they fit the need. Rebecca aims to teach concrete tools clients can use between sessions and to tailor those tools to each person's situation.

People contact her for help with addiction issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and identity concerns such as LGBT stress. She also works with complex concerns like attachment wounds, caregiver stress, and recovery after abuse or chaotic relationships.

Rebecca invites an ongoing conversation about how therapy is going and adjusts the plan as needs shift. She emphasizes collaboration: clients set goals, and she helps them test what works in real life. The aim is not only to reduce immediate distress but to build steadier patterns for the future.

Approaches you can use in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most, accept thoughts and feelings that are hard to change, and commit to actions aligned with their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and when life changes require a new direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new, more effective skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep trouble. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can help with intense emotions, anger, and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to choose or combine strategies based on goals, history, and what feels useful in practice. She emphasizes testing tools in daily life and adjusting plans as things change.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy days, shortens commute time, and makes it easier to check in during transitions like work breaks or caregiving responsibilities. Others appreciate being able to continue care when relocating or when travel is difficult. Rebecca blends structured skills work and processing in ways meant to fit the client's life and schedule.
