Background and approach
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with time spent on what the person needs now. Rebecca brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice. That experience includes supporting people with attachment concerns, social anxiety, mood disorders, and challenges tied to chronic illness and caregiving.
She also has experience addressing issues around gender identity, fertility stress, and alternative sexual cultures. She offers help to people who are hearing impaired and to those navigating aging or fatherhood concerns. Rebecca takes an individualized view and adjusts the pace and focus to match each person’s situation and comfort level.
Sessions are conducted in English and Rebecca accepts clients in New York as well as international clients. She uses a range of online formats so people can choose the way of meeting that fits their life.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Rebecca uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and improving coping skills. One approach helps people spot and test automatic thoughts, replace patterns that increase worry or low mood, and practice new ways of thinking that reduce distress. This method is useful for anxiety and depression.She also emphasizes work on relationship patterns and attachment. That involves identifying repeated interaction habits, practicing clearer communication, and learning ways to feel more grounded in relationships. This focus often helps with recurring conflict, social anxiety, and feelings of disconnection.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work. Rebecca will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods match the person’s goals and comfort level.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let for face-to-face conversations when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and shorter, timely exchanges. These options help people fit care into busy days and differing routines.
