About Rebecca
Rebecca Smith is a licensed mental health counselor (MA LMHC) and a Texas-licensed professional counselor (TX LPC) with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, anger, sleep difficulties, and coping with life changes.
Her approach mixes practical, evidence-informed methods. She borrows from cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and dialectical behavior tools. Sessions focus on clear skills you can use between meetings, and on noticing patterns that keep old problems active.
Rebecca emphasizes active listening and collaborative planning. She aims to help people identify strengths and build small, manageable changes. Work might include practicing new ways to respond to frustration, learning breathing and mindfulness skills, or testing different ways to communicate under pressure.
She also brings strategies useful for addiction, grief, and long-term mood concerns. That can mean behavior-focused exercises, motivational interviewing to sharpen goals, and dialectical techniques for emotional regulation. The goal is practical progress rather than lengthy theory talks.
Rebecca practices in Massachusetts and offers services in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, choose the See online therapy options button, fill out the short matching questionnaire, and schedule the first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques in her work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps in that direction despite difficult feelings. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so concrete skills can change patterns and reduce reactivity. Client-Centered methods focus on listening and building a collaborative plan so the person leads goal setting.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She will work with each person to consider goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions emphasize skills practice, values work, or processing experiences together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time that would otherwise block scheduling. Therapists can guide practical skill practice between sessions, use mindfulness and behavioral exercises during meetings, and help people apply techniques where anger shows up in daily life.
