About Rebecca

Rebecca Ness is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker who focuses on trauma, grief, and stress-related concerns. She offers a calm, practical presence and helps people manage anxiety, cope with life changes, and address intimacy or sexual health questions. Rebecca draws on ten years of experience working in health settings and community care.

Her background includes long-term work in cancer centers, supporting people through diagnosis, treatment, post-treatment life, and end-of-life transitions. That experience shaped her skill in helping people live with chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also works with people facing depression, relationship struggles, body image worries, and complications from chronic pain or disability.

Rebecca uses approaches that center the person's own goals and story. She practices client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client's lead. She also uses narrative therapy to help people reframe their life stories and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals.

Rebecca has additional training addressing sexual health and intimacy concerns, with a particular interest in female sexual health and communication in intimate relationships. She helps people reconnect with their bodies and improve sexual function and relational communication when that is their goal.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She invites people to name what matters to them and then works alongside them to build steps toward those goals. To begin, readers are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a session.

How Rebecca's Approaches Work Online

Rebecca uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person and to build sessions around their goals and values. This approach helps when someone needs a compassionate listener and practical, client-driven direction.

She also draws on narrative therapy, which helps people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Narrative work can be useful for trauma, identity questions, body image, and making sense of life changes. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, achievable steps so progress feels tangible and manageable.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single style. That means sessions can shift as goals change.

Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking.
