Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside client-centered methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and improve mood, often helping with anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions, self-destructive behaviors, and relationship challenges. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspectives, offering empathy and collaboration to support growth and resilience.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments, and allow people to connect with licensed professionals from their own communities. Rebecca also offers some Saturday phone sessions and evening text sessions by request to accommodate different schedules.
