How Rebecca works
Sessions move at the client’s pace, with an emphasis on building trust and feeling understood. Rebecca blends several practical methods to help people make changes. She uses client-centered work to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s experience.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new skills. Solution-focused and narrative techniques help people identify what matters and rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves. She has particular experience with attachment issues, blended family challenges, communication and codependency concerns, and fatherhood issues.
Rebecca also supports people navigating midlife questions, career decisions, and the strain of juggling work and parenting.

Online support options
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It involves listening without judgment and helping people clarify what matters most to them. This approach can help with self-esteem, relationship worries, parenting strain, and making decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Rebecca helps people notice patterns, try different behaviors, and practice new skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused work complements CBT by zeroing in on small, achievable steps that move someone toward their goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose a way of communicating that feels comfortable. Rebecca uses these options to stay connected and offer consistent support across different situations.
