Background and approach
Rebecca emphasizes clear goals and small, doable changes that build confidence over time. Rebecca uses a mix of evidence-based approaches suited to the concern at hand. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the person’s priorities first.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are brought in when helpful to strengthen coping and motivation. Narrative therapy helps people reframe difficult stories from the past so they have more room to move forward.
Rebecca pairs these approaches with coaching-style support for life transitions and career questions. People often come to her for problems such as trauma, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and first responder issues. She also helps with anger, sleep difficulties, and forgiveness work.
Rebecca aims to create a practical plan and steady support as clients work toward change.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Rebecca commonly combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-centered work means the conversation follows what matters most to the person and builds on their strengths. It helps people feel heard and choose the topics for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple exercises to test different ways of thinking and behaving.She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach attention skills that reduce reactivity and help with sleep or anxiety. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding momentum for change, such as with addictions or career moves. These methods are practical and easy to use in remote sessions where homework and short experiments are part of the work.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their goals and comfort level, and adjust methods as progress is made.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video allows for face-to-face conversation, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging works well for brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. This flexibility helps people maintain continuity while working at a pace that fits their schedule.
