About Rebecca
Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California with ten years of experience in the mental health field. She meets people where they are and begins by asking why they decided to start therapy. Rebecca uses that information to shape clear, practical goals together with each person.
Rebecca has worked in many settings over her career including schools, community programs, agency environments, in-home visits, and a personal office.
How Rebecca works
That range taught her to adapt sessions to different needs and life situations. Her caseload has included people impacted by trauma, adoption and foster care histories, chronic illness, LGBTQ concerns, separation and divorce, and court-ordered referrals. Intake starts with a conversational assessment that covers current concerns and a basic mental status check.
From there she and the client create a plan that targets the most pressing issues, whether that is anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship and intimacy-related struggles. Sessions are collaborative and focused on steps that can be taken between meetings. Rebecca draws on client-centered methods and practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work.
She also uses mindfulness and trauma-informed approaches to help people notice patterns and build new coping skills. Many clients come for help with parenting stress, sleep problems, career transitions, or compassion fatigue. Her style is straightforward and supportive.
Rebecca emphasizes listening, validation, and clear next steps so people leave sessions with a sense of progress and options.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rebecca uses client-centered therapy to keep each session focused on what matters most to the client. That approach emphasizes listening, validation, and making sure the person sets the agenda and goals for therapy.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges. Mindfulness therapy is another part of her work and includes simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and trauma.
Rebecca sees choosing an approach as a team effort. She will help clients try methods, note what works, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps find tools that fit each person's life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when someone wants to share between sessions. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or health challenges.
