How Rebecca’s approaches work online
Rebecca commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) when working with anxiety and stress. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and new skills. It is useful for managing worry, sleep problems, and low mood. ACT helps people notice painful feelings without getting stuck and encourages actions that match personal values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit each person's needs. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions emphasize skill practice, values-based action, or short-term problem solving.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation. Phone can be helpful when bandwidth is low or a camera isn't desired. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or step-by-step support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
