Background and approach
She also brings experience with adoption and foster care related concerns and caregiver stress. Rebecca emphasizes a person-centered, trauma-informed approach. Sessions are straightforward and honest.
She aims to build a collaborative plan based on each person’s goals and strengths. In therapy she uses skills-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills. She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma processing is needed, and uses mindfulness techniques to help with grounding and focus.
Rebecca describes herself as genuine and direct in session. She works with clients to set achievable steps and practices they can use between meetings. Her aim is to make therapy practical and applicable to everyday life.
How Rebecca blends proven approaches in online therapy
Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which can reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful when emotions feel overwhelming.She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people who need focused trauma work. EMDR involves structured recall and guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger. The therapist will discuss whether this approach fits your goals and explain the steps before beginning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying skills practice first, then adding trauma-focused work, or adjusting pace depending on how someone responds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you meet face to face for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when a quieter place or less bandwidth is helpful. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, homework review, or more frequent touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the chosen therapeutic methods.
