She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship issues, grief, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem problems, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other life changes.

How CBT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete tasks - tracking situations, thoughts, and reactions - then trying small changes and reviewing what happened.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed steps toward them even when emotions are strong. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current responses to others.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what the client finds useful. Clients and the therapist review progress and change direction when needed.
