Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Rebecca blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and motivational interviewing. Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing a person fully and following their priorities, which helps when coping with life changes, parenting stress, or relationship friction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and builds momentum for steps like improving communication or managing substance-free goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, values, and daily realities. She may start with conversation and then add short exercises, homework, or goal-setting depending on what feels most useful.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make therapy more flexible. Video can support deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for a focused check-in, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. This range helps fit therapy into busy schedules and different communication preferences.
