About Rebecca
Rebecca Smith is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in West Virginia. She holds a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) credential and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential. She brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical help for everyday problems like stress and anxiety.
She works in a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate way. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs, with conversation and goals shaped around what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Rebecca encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels achievable. Her work often centers on anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression, and she also helps people with self-esteem, motivation, and addictions. Rebecca addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns as well as family-of-origin and communication problems.
She also supports those coping with major life changes and caregiver stress. Rebecca uses a mix of practical methods to help clients learn new skills and change unhelpful patterns. That can mean looking at thoughts that heighten anxiety, practicing mindful techniques to calm the body, or exploring personal stories to reframe difficult memories.
She adapts the approach to fit the person rather than following a single formula. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Rebecca aims to make that step clear and manageable. She helps people set realistic targets, try techniques between sessions, and review what works.
The focus is on steady improvement and finding strategies that fit each person's daily life.
How Rebecca Uses Talk, Thought Work, and Mindfulness Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people clarify what they want to change. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to set their own goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavior changes, and practicing new skills between meetings. This method is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and stress-related issues.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and body-based techniques to reduce reactivity. Simple practices can help manage panic, lower daily worry, and improve sleep by bringing awareness to the present moment rather than getting swept up in racing thoughts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people share thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily routines while keeping focus on practical change.
