About Rebecca

Background and approach
Rebecca uses Systemic Therapy alongside client-centered methods to look at how relationships and patterns shape daily struggles. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are available when someone wants tools for stress, focus, or sticking to change.
Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, self-esteem struggles, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses listed include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, and forgiveness and guilt work. Sessions are adapted to the individual.
Rebecca works to create practical steps each week and encourages people to pace progress. She helps people sort priorities, try small experiments, and build skills they can use between sessions.

How Rebecca’s Approaches Work Online
Rebecca uses Systemic Therapy to look at patterns between people and how those patterns affect stress, mood, and everyday interactions. This approach can help when recurring conflicts, family of origin issues, or communication problems keep surfacing.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and shaping sessions around what the person needs most. That style helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to build their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Rebecca works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She often combines elements from different approaches and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat suits shorter check-ins or on-the-go support. These options add flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to keep regular sessions, and let people try different formats to see what fits best.
