Online support options
Approach and online options that fit your life
Rebecca blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices. Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person's perspective and building a partnership so goals come from the client's priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying practical exercises to change them, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and calm the body, which can help with anger, rumination, and coping with chronic illness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts techniques over time so the approach fits the person's needs rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers several practical options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn't needed, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer different ways to communicate depending on energy and comfort level.
