About Rebekah

Rebekah Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Maine with four years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood-related issues listed in her profile. She speaks English and works with adults seeking practical help for life changes and mental health challenges.

She uses clear, structured approaches to help people notice patterns in thought and behavior. Rebekah emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions. She pays attention to relationship dynamics, parenting strains, and the impacts of past trauma on current life.

Sessions include talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thinking, and practicing different responses. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down problems into manageable parts. She also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered methods, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to match what a person needs in the moment.

Rebekah helps people address sleep and eating concerns, anger and self-esteem struggles, and career or caregiving stress. She also lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, substance concerns, and coping after disasters. Her approach aims to combine practical skills, clear discussion, and step-by-step problem solving.

To begin, people choose the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. She notes that the service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Rebekah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavioral changes. CBT sessions tend to include specific exercises and take-home tasks to practice new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and making room for valued action; it often uses simple mindfulness and values-based steps to help with avoidance and low motivation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress or priorities shift, and she supports adjusting the plan together.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up is useful, and they can reduce commute time so skill-building work can be scheduled during regular weeks. Ask about session length and format when arranging the first appointment so practical needs are matched with the planned approach.
