How Rebecca’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Rebecca uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s experience and priorities, creating space for people to be heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental setting to sort through feelings and decide what matters most.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking steps aligned with personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current struggles; it aims to notice and shift how people connect with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies as needs change so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel.
