How her approaches shape online care

Rebecca often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for grief, avoidance, or big life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, practical experiments to change behavior and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaboration includes checking what techniques feel useful and adjusting plans as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone choose a conversation style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach coping skills, practice emotion regulation, and set small achievable steps toward change.
