Background and approach
Rebecca uses practical methods to help people manage symptoms and make small, useful changes in daily life. She pays attention to how life transitions and workplace pressures affect mood and motivation. Her approach includes client-centered work that keeps each person’s goals at the center.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Solution-focused strategies help set short-term goals and track progress in ways that feel doable. Rebecca brings experience helping with issues such as codependency, family of origin concerns, divorce and separation, and substance-related problems.
She also supports people dealing with isolation, panic attacks, social anxiety, and challenges related to aging.

Rebecca encourages a collaborative and paced process so people can move forward with manageable steps.
How Rebecca’s Approaches Work Online
Rebecca uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation focuses on the person’s goals and experience, with the therapist following what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral work looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to test new behaviors and reduce unhelpful thinking.She also uses solution-focused methods to set short-term, practical goals and track small wins. Together the therapist and client decide which approach fits best and adjust as progress is made. Finding the right method is a cooperative process based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls let people use body language and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short reflections, follow-up, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options support flexibility so appointments can match a person’s schedule and comfort.
