She uses a mix of approaches to find what fits each person. Rebecca is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with ten years of experience and a much longer history of training that began in Austin in the 1980s.
How Rebecca works
She has focused on somatic and experiential methods to address stress, chronic pain, trauma, and addictive behaviors. Her background includes work with attachment concerns, grief, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. In sessions she pays attention to body sensations, emotions, and the stories people tell about themselves.
She draws from client-centered, existential, mindfulness, narrative, and hypnotherapy approaches to tailor care. That means she listens for what helps and adjusts methods so people can try new ways of coping. Rebecca emphasizes teaching skills that extend beyond the therapy hour.
She often uses breathing and grounding exercises, narrative techniques to reframe painful memories, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Her approach aims to build tools for daily life. She practices in Texas and offers online formats.
Rebecca encourages people to notice small changes and to move at a pace that feels manageable. If someone chooses to work with her, she brings steady attention and practical techniques to the work.

How Rebecca’s Approaches Work Online
Rebecca often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are. This approach helps people feel heard and guides conversation toward their goals. Existential therapy is another method she uses to look at meaning, choices, and life transitions, which can help when someone faces big decisions or a sense of emptiness.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and create calm. Mindfulness exercises are easy to practice during video calls or as short check-ins between sessions. Rebecca will work together with each person to decide which methods feel useful and to adjust the plan as needs change.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins possible and help people fit support into busy days. These formats make it easier to build consistency and to use therapeutic tools in daily life.
