About Rebecca
Rebecca Waterston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with ten years of counseling experience. She commonly works with people who are overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Rebecca focuses on helping clients build clearer self-understanding and steadier confidence.
Her work often begins with practical steps to improve sleep, reduce worry, and manage day-to-day stress. She encourages small, steady changes that add up over time. Sessions emphasize identifying what can change now and what needs acceptance.
Background and approach
Rebecca also helps people who are facing relationship struggles and communication breakdowns. She looks at patterns learned in early family life and how those patterns show up now. Conversations aim to make interactions less reactive and more respectful.
Trauma and grief are frequent concerns in her practice. She supports people processing single-event trauma and complex trauma related to addiction, neglect, loss, or family instability. Rebecca works to restore self-esteem so clients can make clearer decisions about who is healthy for them.
She assists those recovering from substance use and their relatives by teaching ways to feel less trapped and more emotionally independent. Families learn strategies to care for themselves while coping with addiction in a household. Rebecca emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes.
She invites people to begin with one small step and to track change week by week. Her approach is patient, direct, and focused on everyday improvements that matter.
Approaches for online work and practical coping
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values even when anxiety or doubt is present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches ways to change them, which often helps with sleep, worry, and stress.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist talks with each person about their goals, symptoms, and daily life. Together they try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to get support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and body language cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates between sessions or check in when a quick reflection is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working on anxiety, relationships, trauma, and related issues.
