About Rebecca

Background and approach
Rebecca also draws on mindfulness and somatic ideas to help the body and mind settle when anxiety or past trauma shows up. Rebecca trained early in Austin and has worked in counseling since the 1980s, with a decade of recent practice as a licensed professional counselor in Texas.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process where questions, silence, and careful listening guide the work. Sessions often include straightforward skill-building alongside deeper reflection about values and choices. Practical tools appear regularly in her sessions.
People who work with Rebecca may practice breathing and grounding exercises, try narrative techniques to change a painful story, or use mindful attention to reduce reactivity. She also offers hypnotherapy-based approaches when appropriate and requested. Her aim is simple: help people find manageable ways to cope now and build skills for the future.
Rebecca keeps the work down-to-earth and focused on real life. If someone prefers collaborative, steady, and skills-focused care, she may be a good match.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Rebecca blends client-centered therapy and mindfulness-based work to help people manage anxiety and stress during online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, asking thoughtful questions, and shaping the pace to match each person's needs, which helps people feel understood and clear about goals. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and be practiced between sessions.She also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe painful stories and notice how past experiences shape current behavior. Narrative work online often involves talking through events, identifying recurring themes, and trying new ways of describing situations to change how they feel in daily life. Rebecca approaches the choice of methods collaboratively, inviting people to test what fits and adjusting the plan as goals evolve.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and guided exercises, phone works well for lower bandwidth or brief check-ins, and chat or messaging suits shorter updates or people who prefer text. These options add flexibility for scheduling, help therapy fit around work or family demands, and let people choose the format that feels most manageable.
