About Rebecca
Rebecca Andersen is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and low self-esteem. She uses a straightforward, collaborative style and aims to make therapy feel manageable for busy parents and adults. Rebecca works from Minnesota and brings 21 years of clinical experience to sessions.
She favors practical tools that people can use between meetings. That can mean learning ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, practicing emotional connection skills for relationships, or using mindful awareness to ease overwhelming moments.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on small steps that add up to real change. Rebecca draws on client-centered ideas to keep the work grounded in each person’s goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns and narrative methods to help people reframe their story.
Emotionally-focused approaches are used when relationship repair or deeper emotional connection is needed. Her background includes many years working with adults on issues such as parenting stress, career transitions, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and family conflict. She also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver strain, body image worries, and difficulties after divorce and separation.
Rebecca aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can try new ways of coping. She encourages practical homework between sessions and checks progress often so plans can change if something isn’t helping. The goal is clearer direction, steadier moods, and better relationships over time.
Approaches that guide online work
Rebecca blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people manage anxiety and stress. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding your goals, and shaping sessions around what matters most to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical exercises to shift them, which can help with worry, low mood, and stress.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when relationship repair or deeper emotional connection is a priority. EFT helps partners or individuals identify core emotions and practice new ways of responding to one another to build stronger bonds. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options, try methods in session, and adjust based on what feels useful to your goals and preferences.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is useful for conversational work and behavioral coaching, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins, and chat or messaging work well for short updates or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, caregiving, or medical needs while keeping treatment consistent and focused.
