How Rebecca’s approaches work in online therapy
Rebecca uses client-centered therapy to shape sessions around each person’s goals and concerns. This approach focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the person in the room, which can help build trust and clearer goals online or in-person.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies for changing patterns that cause distress. CBT is often useful for anxiety, mood symptoms, and workplace stress. Together these approaches let sessions mix supportive listening with practical tools tailored to current problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Rebecca works collaboratively to decide what fits a person’s needs and preferences. She will help set goals, try tools, and adjust plans based on what is working.
