Background and approach
Sessions aim to help people identify strengths and take practical steps toward goals. Rebecca describes her style as nurturing, encouraging, and supportive. Rebecca draws from several evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs.
She commonly uses cognitive and dialectical behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that hold someone back. She also works with mindfulness and acceptance strategies to manage strong emotions and build tolerance for discomfort. In session, Rebecca collaborates with clients to set and adjust goals.
She helps people make clear, manageable plans and practices skills between sessions. The focus is on real-life changes that improve daily functioning and emotional balance. People come to Rebecca for many reasons, including coping with grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, substance concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, and work-related stress.
She emphasizes respect for each person’s pace and values, and supports clients as they explore next steps in life.
How Rebecca's Approach Fits Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values, even when difficult feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and persistent stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleeping problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions, managing distress, and improving relationships, which can be helpful for anger, trauma reactions, and compassion fatigue.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. She draws from multiple methods so the work can match a person’s needs and preferences rather than fitting every person into one model.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Messaging and live chat can help with quick skill reminders, ongoing coaching, or brief check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using ACT, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness tools in regular care.
