About Rebecca
Rebecca Ness is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with ten years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also helps those facing sexual health and intimacy challenges and people navigating life changes tied to illness or caregiving.
Her work often grew from years spent in cancer centers where she supported patients through diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment transitions. That background means she understands how illness can ripple into daily life, work, and relationships.
Background and approach
She is comfortable helping people with chronic illness concerns beyond oncology. Rebecca uses careful listening first. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and ways to reconnect with the body and with partners when intimacy is strained. Her approach draws on client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, narrative work, and solution-focused strategies. That mix helps people tell their story differently, calm overwhelming moments, and try small experiments that can change routines or relationships.
Rebecca offers therapy in English and holds a Florida license as LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She works with adults on issues such as sexual health, intimacy, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career or identity shifts. If someone wants steady, respectful support while making practical changes, she may be a good fit.
How her approaches translate to online care
Rebecca combines client-centered work with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas in online sessions. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, helping them set goals and priorities that feel right. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to reduce overwhelm and reactivity, which can help with anxiety, stress, and chronic pain. Solution-focused therapy focuses on small, achievable steps and experiments to shift routines and communication, useful for relationship strain and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, strengths, and preferences with each person, then try methods that feel helpful. Plans can change as needs evolve, and she works with clients to adjust strategies and measure what is making a difference.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for her work. Video calls let people use visual cues for intimacy and body-focused conversations, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work on symptoms, communication, and sexual health from wherever the client is located in Florida.
