Background and approach
She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction, and relationship or parenting strains. Sessions typically focus on small, actionable changes. Rebecca draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Mindfulness practices are used to help with grounding and attention when stress feels overwhelming. Her approach treats the person, not a label. She invites clients to set practical goals and tries different strategies until something fits.
Progress is often measured in clearer thinking, fewer panic moments, or better daily routines. Rebecca works with people on issues like postpartum depression, panic attacks, ADHD-related challenges, and mood disorders. She also addresses concerns around abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiving stress, and life purpose.
Her style is calm, direct, and focused on helping people regain control of daily life.
Practical online approaches for anxiety and mood
Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, panic, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are taught to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication for overwhelming feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca collaborates with each person to test what helps most, adjusting methods based on goals and daily needs. She encourages feedback so sessions stay aligned with what the person finds useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video lets people work face to face while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skills practice possible between longer appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life feels busy.
