About Rebecca
Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with ten years of experience in mental health care. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or major life changes. Rebecca takes a straightforward, steady approach in sessions and focuses on practical steps that people can use between meetings.
Her background includes work in homes, schools, community settings, agencies, and independent practice.
Background and approach
That range means she is used to meeting people where they are and adapting to different life situations and routines. Rebecca has supported people affected by trauma, separation or divorce, adoption and foster care histories, auto-immune illness, and LGBTQ concerns. Intake begins with a conversational assessment that naturally includes a mental status check.
Sessions are collaborative - she asks about the reason for starting therapy and helps set clear personal and professional goals together. Rebecca explains options and invites client input about the pace and focus of work. Her day-to-day methods draw on client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused work when needed.
Sessions aim to reduce distress, sharpen coping skills, and rebuild a sense of control over daily life. She encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time. Rebecca offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
English-language services are provided and she works with adults across a wide span of life stages. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person. It helps people feel heard and ensures the work follows their goals rather than a fixed script. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She explains options, tries techniques, and adjusts what isn't working so the plan stays relevant and usable.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let you have a near face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for short check-ins, quick coping reminders, and support between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into busy days and changing routines.
