About Rebecca Roark

Rebecca Roark is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) who draws on multiple theoretical frameworks to help people navigate life’s challenges. She understands that much of the distress people experience comes from feeling misunderstood and from a diminished sense of personal agency. Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to clarify and reframe the problems they face, then designs practical, individualized strategies to address the obstacles that interfere with a more contented life.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and active problem solving, helping clients identify priorities and regain a stronger sense of control over decisions and relationships. Rebecca aims to create a space where concerns can be named and mapped, and where tangible steps toward improved functioning and well-being are developed together.

With this orientation, she supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, grief, issues of intimacy and self-esteem, career transitions, and other life changes. Her practice focuses on partnering with clients to move from feeling stuck to making meaningful, sustainable changes.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Rebecca Roark draws on client-centered therapy to build a collaborative relationship that centers the client's experience and personal goals. This approach emphasizes empathy and respect, helping individuals feel heard while exploring issues like relationship struggles, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-focused, often useful for managing anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and stress by teaching tools to reframe thoughts and test new behaviors.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques may be incorporated when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, or intense reactions are a concern. DBT provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing reactive patterns, and improving communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or other obligations. Working remotely with licensed professionals can increase access to consistent support and allow therapy to be integrated into daily life in a practical, sustainable way.
