How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they feel heard and can make their own choices; it helps with building self-awareness and navigating relationship and career concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, anger, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can help when anger or intense emotions feel hard to manage.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Rebecca works with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and situation. She will suggest practical steps, try them in session or as short exercises between meetings, and adjust based on what helps most.
Her profile indicates some phone and text options are offered by request; confirm current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work or family life around appointments, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people try techniques in the context of daily routines. Therapists will discuss what will work best for scheduling, communication style, and the specific concerns you bring.
