Online support options
How Rebecca’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values, even when difficult feelings show up. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change behavior and mood. It often helps with anxiety, panic, and mood disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for intense emotions and impulsivity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. She tailors techniques from these approaches to match what you want to change and how you prefer to work, and she checks in to make adjustments as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or clients prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between visits. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while using evidence-informed techniques.
