Rebecca Hegwood

Rebecca Hegwood is a licensed professional counselor who brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. She completed a Rehabilitation Counseling degree at the University of South Carolina in 2015 and has practiced in outpatient community and private settings across South Carolina.

Rebecca focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and the hard shifts life brings. She also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain, career questions, addiction, ADHD, and issues with sleep, intimacy, anger, and self-esteem.

Her style is warm, encouraging, and nonjudgmental. She aims to help people feel heard and to identify the next practical steps they can take. Rebecca emphasizes working at the client’s pace while highlighting personal strengths and resources.

Her approach is integrative, which means she draws on several methods rather than following a single technique. She uses a client-centered stance as the foundation, then adds cognitive and dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness tools when those fit the situation.

In sessions she collaborates with each person to set and revise goals. The work often includes noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new skills, and building routines that support everyday functioning. Rebecca frames therapy as a partnership focused on returning to or discovering a more fulfilling, steady life.

To begin, she asks people to reflect on what matters most to them and then helps translate those values into concrete steps. Rebecca welcomes thoughtful, motivated people who want practical support through life change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. It is useful for folks facing life changes, chronic stress, or ongoing anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep disruption. Mindfulness-based ideas offer simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily signals and help reduce reactivity in moments of strong emotion.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit your situation. That collaboration helps decide when to lean on values-based work, skills training, or mindful awareness depending on what you need.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and keep check-ins consistent when life feels chaotic. It also allows flexibility for shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when that helps you engage. Ask about available session types when you schedule so you can pick what works best for your routine.
