About Rebekah
Rebekah Smith is an LCSW practicing in Maine who uses practical, person-focused approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and ADHD. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about hard things and try out new ways to cope. Rebekah offers straightforward support and helps clients find steps that fit their life.
She draws on methods that focus on values, thinking patterns, and emotions to guide sessions.
Background and approach
That can mean learning skills to handle intense feelings, noticing unhelpful thoughts, or identifying what matters most and taking small actions toward it. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday examples. Rebekah has four years of clinical experience and uses a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas along with client-centered listening.
She tailors the mix to the problem at hand rather than following one fixed method. People bring many concerns including grief, trauma, sleeping and eating struggles, parenting stress, career transitions, burnout, and questions about mood or attention. Rebekah also works with histories of adoption and foster care, substance issues, and relationship patterns that keep repeating.
Her style is supportive and direct. She helps people set practical goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track small changes over time. Getting started is described as a simple process of answering a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then choose actions based on personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and challenges like ADHD where focus and follow-through are goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to ease symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections, which can help with repeating relationship or family issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and daily routines, then blend techniques that match those needs. Decisions about methods are collaborative and adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is often used for full sessions and skill practice, phone can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat works for quick check-ins or homework support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, manage childcare or work breaks, and keep momentum between appointments.
