About Rebecca

Rebecca Chester is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia who helps people facing relationship problems, family tensions, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with stress, low self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Rebecca speaks English and brings eight years of professional experience to her work as LCSW, CSW.

Her style is respectful and straightforward. She aims to listen first and shape conversations around what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps that feel manageable, not on jargon or one-size-fits-all plans.

Rebecca draws on client-centered techniques to follow the client’s lead and build a trusting working relationship. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Mindfulness methods are offered to build awareness and calm when that is helpful.

She also employs motivational interviewing to clarify goals and boost the steady progress people want to make. Rebecca tailors the pace and methods to each person’s goals, whether that means coping strategies for a short-term issue or ongoing support for life changes.

Her background includes supporting people through caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, cancer-related challenges, and aging or geriatric issues. Rebecca emphasizes practical steps, clear communication, and steady partnership as people move toward more manageable days.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person’s priorities; online sessions can preserve that collaborative tone so the therapist shapes work around the client’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, often using short exercises and tools that can be reviewed together in a session. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce stress and increase calm in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rebecca works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That partnership guides how sessions are planned and which techniques are emphasized over time.

Confirm the current session format options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps keep momentum. It can also let people use tools and worksheets between sessions to practice skills learned in therapy.
