How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist centers the client's goals and uses questions and reflections to help people clarify what matters and what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It uses exercises and homework to build different thinking patterns and tackle problems like anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It is useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and self-harm urges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each client to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She balances short-term problem solving and skills coaching with longer-term behavior change based on what the client wants to achieve.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Many licensed professionals use video or phone for frequent check-ins and skills practice; these options can make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, allow shorter check-ins between appointments, or reduce travel time. Discuss scheduling and format preferences when booking so sessions fit into everyday life and goals.
