Background and approach
Rebecca also assists with life transitions, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleeping difficulties, career struggles, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. Her experience includes supporting people with severe and persistent mental illness as well as those navigating shorter-term crises. Rebecca’s style is warm and encouraging.
She centers each conversation on the person in front of her and helps them identify their strengths. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with straightforward conversation and practical skills that can be used between meetings. Her approach pulls from several well-known methods to match each person’s needs.
She commonly uses client-centered work to build trust, cognitive strategies to notice and shift unhelpful thinking, and dialectical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Rebecca aims to help people regain a sense of control and move toward a more fulfilling life.
She invites prospective clients to reflect on what matters to them and to take the next step when they feel ready.
How Rebecca uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It emphasizes small, concrete steps toward what matters most and can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship by listening and reflecting without judgment. This approach is useful for people who need a supportive space to process feelings and find their own answers.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It works well for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and some attention-related challenges.
Rebecca will work together with each person to decide which approaches fit best based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying methods, checking progress, and adjusting the plan when needed so the work remains practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging support quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity between appointments.
