About Rebecca
Rebecca Westgate is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She focuses on practical steps clients can use when feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Rebecca also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, and social anxiety.
Her style is direct and compassionate. Sessions aim to uncover what is keeping someone stuck and build doable coping skills. She works at a steady pace and adapts methods to match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Rebecca draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process difficult experiences and reduce symptoms. She guides clients through strategies that target thought patterns, emotional reactions, and everyday habits. The work often includes short-term skill building alongside deeper exploration when needed.
Over nine years of practice, Rebecca has focused on trauma, post-traumatic stress, attachment concerns, abandonment issues, and isolation. That background informs how she approaches anxiety and stress, especially when past events affect current reactions. Sessions take place online with options for video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
She conducts therapy in English and practices from Indiana. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.
Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility
Rebecca uses evidence-based techniques that focus on processing traumatic experiences and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. One approach helps people identify and shift thoughts that fuel anxiety and depression, teaching practical strategies to reduce worry and improve mood. Another approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and their emotional impact so reactions feel less overwhelming and daily life becomes easier to manage. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca collaborates with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pace and tools over time so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method. Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support possible between longer sessions, which helps therapy fit into busy schedules.Questions people ask
