She draws on practical approaches to support those facing anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented, aimed at clear steps toward change.

Rebecca has worked with young people and families for over 20 years and brings 11 years as an LMHC to her clinical work.

She also addresses trauma, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and issues related to sexuality and LGBT identity.

In sessions she and the client set focused goals and map out small steps. Rebecca uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy depending on what the person needs. Sessions often blend practical skills, thought work, and moment-to-moment coping strategies.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and measurable progress. Rebecca works to break problems into manageable tasks so clients can try new skills between meetings. She explains choices plainly and helps prioritize what matters for each person’s life.

People seeking help with coping with life changes, building self-esteem, handling anger, or improving communication may find her approach useful. Rebecca supports parents working through parenting strain and individuals tackling career decisions or feelings of guilt and shame.

Approaches that guide online work

Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take actions that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and impulse control.

She also integrates Mindfulness techniques to help with self-regulation, stress, and grounding after upsetting events. These approaches are used to address trauma recovery, motivation, relationship and communication problems, and coping with life changes. The therapist and client work together to choose which approaches fit the person’s goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist will help you decide which approach and session rhythm make sense for your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid long commutes, or use shorter check-ins when that suits a daily schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to an online setting so people can practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
