She began her career teaching high school students with emotional and behavioral disorders and later moved into community mental health. Rebecca also brings an art background to her work, which informs how she helps people express and make sense of difficult feelings.

Rebecca’s work focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports people facing life changes, grief, addiction struggles, anger, and low self-esteem. She pays close attention to attachment concerns, caregiver stress, isolation, and mood-related problems like post-traumatic stress and social anxiety.

Her approach blends practical skills and deeper exploration. Rebecca uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people manage symptoms day to day. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action.

She also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas when relationship repair or stronger emotional connection are goals. Sessions involve talking through patterns, practicing new ways of relating, and building emotional safety between partners or within oneself.

Rebecca aims to work collaboratively so clients set the pace and goals. She focuses on helping people recognize strengths, learn coping tools, and make changes that fit their day-to-day lives. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How Rebecca’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most and take small steps that match those values. It supports people who feel stuck by teaching them how to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions clients learn practical strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas help when relationship patterns cause pain. These approaches look at how connection, trust, and emotional responses develop and then use conversations and new interaction patterns to build safer bonds.

Rebecca views finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. Therapy plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by saving commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Many people find remote sessions convenient for keeping therapy consistent alongside work, school, and caregiving schedules.
