How Rebecca works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors in small, manageable ways. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people notice and name their emotions, and Narrative Therapy to explore the stories clients tell about themselves. Mindfulness practices are offered when slowing down and noticing the present moment will help reduce reactivity.
Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving communication, managing anxiety, healing from loss, handling anger, or navigating major life transitions. Rebecca blends coaching-style guidance with therapy to help clients learn skills and apply them between sessions. Her style is collaborative and practical.
She listens first, helps identify patterns, and then works with clients to choose strategies that fit their life and values. People leave sessions with concrete steps and ideas to try before the next meeting.

Online support options
Using different approaches in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting people where they are. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can clarify their own goals and choose steps that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions so patterns in relationships and self-reactions become clearer.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That way the work evolves to match what helps most in real life rather than staying tied to a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on consistent progress and practical tools.
