About Rebecca
Rebecca Murray is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, compassion fatigue and burnout, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and relationship and family concerns. She also works with people facing life transitions, workplace issues, panic attacks, and questions about life purpose.
Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a central method and integrates trauma-focused ideas and other approaches when helpful. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying different ways of responding, and building clearer coping skills. She explains strategies in plain language and practices them together with the person in session.
Her approach includes attention to trauma and its effects, and she uses techniques aimed at reducing distress linked to past events. She also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand conflicting parts of themselves and reduce self-criticism. Sessions mix practical skill-building with focused processing when needed.
Rebecca frames work as a collaborative process. She typically breaks problems into concrete steps, sets short-term goals, and tracks progress across sessions. People can expect structured, task-oriented sessions that emphasize behavioral experiments and thought work alongside emotional processing.
Rebecca holds the LCPC credential in Illinois. She offers services in English and does not accept international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to match scheduling needs.
How Rebecca uses CBT and trauma-focused work in online sessions
Rebecca commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused techniques in her work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then tests new responses through short experiments and homework. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the hold of past events by processing difficult memories and teaching grounding and stabilization skills.She also uses elements of Internal Family Systems to help people notice different internal parts and reduce internal conflict. These methods help with anxiety, panic, grief, compassion fatigue, and mood-related struggles. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. The therapist will discuss scheduling, session length, and any practical adjustments during the matching and first-session planning process to help sessions fit into everyday life.
