About Rebecca
Rebecca Stallworth is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life change. She speaks English and Cantonese and brings 38 years of experience to conversations about coping, grief, parenting strain, addiction, and identity concerns. She aims for short, clear goals in sessions.
Rebecca uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses mindfulness skills and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Background and approach
Her work is grounded in a person-centered attitude. That means she listens closely and builds on each person's strengths. She encourages clients to pick small steps that fit their values and daily life.
Rebecca has long experience with trauma recovery and grief counseling. She has supported veterans and people coping with abuse, loss, and major transitions. That background informs how she helps people rebuild routines and sense of purpose.
In sessions she blends approaches rather than following a single method. Treatment may include skill practice, values-based planning, and exploring attachment patterns that shape relationships. The goal is clearer coping strategies, better communication, and more steady moods over time.
Practical approaches for online healing
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps people make choices that lead to a more meaningful life even when painful thoughts or feelings remain present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches techniques to reduce unhelpful thinking and change behavior. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It is helpful when strong emotions lead to impulsive reactions or relationship conflict.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying skills in regular life, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice skills between sessions.
