About Rebekah

Rebekah Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, ME LCSW, with four years of clinical experience based in Maine. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem problems.

She keeps sessions straightforward. She invites people to talk through their thoughts and feelings without judgment. She aims to offer practical support and to help people find small changes that reduce daily strain.

Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods are used to help people notice patterns of thinking, try different responses, and practice skills that fit real life.

Rebekah also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to look at how relationships and early experiences affect how someone copes now. That can help when worry, anger, or grief show up in close relationships or at work.

She has additional focus areas that include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, codependency, substance use concerns, aging and geriatric issues, and ADHD among others. If a specific concern matters to you, mention it during the intake so the first session can focus on what you need.

How sessions work

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters, and practice small actions that match their values. It can help when anger or avoidance limits daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve sleep, mood, or workplace reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, useful when strong feelings come on quickly.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore your goals, try different strategies, and adjust what is used based on what helps you manage anger, stress, or relationship strain. Clients and therapist work together to pick skills and exercises that fit your situation.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit a short check-in into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or use a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Discuss practical needs during the intake so sessions can be planned to match your routine and goals.
