About Rebecca

Rebecca Holland is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with 12 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation problems. She also supports people facing life changes, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and sleep or eating difficulties.

Her approach is straightforward and skills-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build practical coping tools. Sessions concentrate on what is happening now and on small steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

Rebecca emphasizes collaboration. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and works with them to set realistic goals. Conversations typically identify thinking or behavior patterns that increase anger or anxiety, then introduce strategies to interrupt those patterns and reduce reactivity.

Work in sessions can include tracking triggers, practicing breathing and grounding exercises, and trying behavior experiments between meetings. Rebecca helps people develop routines for better sleep and mood regulation when those areas are part of the concern. She also addresses attachment, communication problems, and feelings like guilt or shame.

Her background as an Illinois LCSW includes community and clinical settings over more than a decade. She encourages people to start with a simple plan and adjust it as they learn what helps. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How CBT, DBT and Mindfulness inform online sessions

Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers clear tools for handling anger, anxiety, and mood problems by testing new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication in tense moments. DBT techniques can reduce impulsive reactions and teach steps to stay steady during conflict.

Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce automatic reactivity. Simple breathing and grounding exercises help people interrupt escalating anger and return attention to workable choices. Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work; the therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. The therapist will help shape practical plans that fit everyday life and responsibilities without promising any particular format.
