Background and approach
Rebecca draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies help people clarify values and take manageable steps forward.
Her background includes work with people facing grief, parenting stress, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and life transitions. She is also experienced supporting those dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, and identity-related stressors such as LGBT concerns. Sessions are offered in English and provided through online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
Rebecca describes herself as direct and real, aiming to be a steady, practical ally while clients sort through problems and build coping skills.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on a respectful, accepting relationship where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects what they hear to help someone feel heard and understood. This approach suits people who need a steady ally while sorting through feelings and decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and stress management.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses curiosity and open questions to build motivation for steps like improving routines, addressing substance use, or making career or parenting changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and fit support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new ideas in daily life.
