About Rebecca
Rebecca Montez is a licensed clinical social worker in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She offers calm, straightforward support for women’s health concerns including postpartum mood changes and pregnancy-related issues. Rebecca focuses on boosting self-esteem and coping skills so clients can handle life’s shifts with more confidence.

Background and approach
Rebecca emphasizes clear steps clients can try between sessions to notice progress and build routine skills. Her work often addresses relationship losses such as abandonment, divorce, and family problems. She also helps people process guilt, shame, and the effects of sexual assault and abuse.
Social anxiety and panic attacks are common topics she helps people reduce through paced work and skill practice. Multicultural concerns and questions about life purpose are part of the caseload she supports. Rebecca tailors her approach to each person’s background and values, and she encourages honest discussion about identity and meaning in life.
Her style is direct but compassionate, focusing on what can change now. Rebecca welcomes those who are taking the first steps toward feeling steadier, more capable, and more connected to themselves.
How Rebecca’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Rebecca draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptom reduction and skill building. One common approach she uses emphasizes practical coping skills for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to reduce avoidance and regain confidence. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, guiding gentle processing of painful memories while prioritizing pacing and safety to reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Rebecca works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, life demands, and comfort level. She will check in regularly and adjust techniques as progress and needs change, making sure the plan matches what the person wants to work on.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and teaching new skills, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different routines while keeping care consistent.
