About Rebecca
Rebecca Hyatt helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, worried, or stuck. She is a California licensed clinical social worker with 40 years of experience. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward.
Rebecca encourages honest conversation and practical steps rather than long lectures. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Many people seek her out when they face panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace strain, or a painful breakup.
How Rebecca works
She also supports those dealing with aging and geriatric issues, codependency, and family of origin challenges. In sessions she listens first and then helps clients set small, achievable goals. Rebecca uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused work to build short-term action plans. Appointments are practical and grounded. Conversations include normalizing difficult feelings, practicing new skills, and checking what actually helps day to day.
Rebecca aims to make therapy useful and manageable for people balancing life responsibilities. Taking a first step can feel hard, and she respects that courage. If you want a steady, experienced clinician who favors clear steps and listening, Rebecca offers that steady presence and practical support.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Rebecca uses client-centered therapy to start sessions by listening closely and following the client's priorities, which helps when someone needs space to describe what feels most urgent. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and to practice concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and panic. She also uses solution-focused therapy to build short-term plans and quick steps that produce measurable change.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Rebecca works together with clients to find what fits. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This collaborative stance means therapy can be tailored to personal preferences and changing needs over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation more flexible. Video is useful for more in-depth work where seeing each other helps connection. Phone calls can fit a break at work or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats let people keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, or travel.
