Background and approach
Rebecca brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work. She has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, and family-of-origin concerns. Her background includes helping those affected by domestic violence, hospice and end-of-life stress, and caregiving burnout.
Sessions aim to identify patterns that get in the way and replace them with manageable strategies. Rebecca offers coaching-style tools when clients want actionable plans for change. She also uses trauma-informed techniques to address painful memories and emotional overwhelm.
Therapy with Rebecca is collaborative and goal-focused. She checks in on progress and adjusts approaches based on what’s working. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT often includes short exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions.She also employs trauma-focused therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for clients processing traumatic memories. Trauma-focused work aims to reduce the emotional charge of difficult memories, while EMDR uses bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall to help people make sense of traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca works together with each person to decide which methods match their goals, comfort level, and pace. She adapts techniques based on feedback and progress so the plan evolves naturally.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more visual connection for skill practice and EMDR-style work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to keep short check-ins, ask quick questions, or get support between longer sessions, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs.
