Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rebecca draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy unfolds so the plan feels practical and individualized.

Online sessions via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to access care and maintain continuity when schedules or locations make in-person visits difficult. These options allow clients to connect with a licensed professional in formats that can fit work, family, and lifestyle commitments while supporting consistent progress.
