How Rebecca Uses CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Online

Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or depression and to test new behaviors that lead to different outcomes. CBT focuses on practical steps and homework tasks to change how daily thoughts and actions affect mood.

She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style techniques can be useful for intense emotions, anger, and relationship stress. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build awareness of the present moment and reduce automatic reactions to difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.

The therapist’s biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it makes it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and reduces travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep momentum between appointments while still focusing on concrete skills and goals.
