Becky Loving, LPC

Becky Loving is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience in Oregon. She draws on a range of therapeutic methods to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, eating and body image concerns, self-esteem, career difficulties, and trauma. Becky listens first and works collaboratively to set clear, manageable goals. Her background includes a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and focused study in eating disorders. Becky uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside ACT, DBT skills, and EMDR when appropriate. She favors straightforward strategies that fit daily life. Sessions emphasize clear communication and shared planning. Becky asks about what has and hasn’t helped before. She then offers short-term strategies and longer-term skills to reduce symptoms and rebuild confidence. Her approach is person-centered and adaptable. She blends evidence-informed techniques with a focus on each person’s values and strengths. Clients can expect a calm, goal-focused space to talk through problems and practice new skills. Becky also helps people address related concerns such as attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and issues linked to family of origin. She encourages feedback during therapy so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Becky commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. ACT helps people clarify personal values and take committed actions, even when uncomfortable feelings remain. Client-centered work centers the conversation around the person's own experience, using active listening and empathy to help people feel heard and understood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Becky works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaboration means skills and strategies are tailored to what the person wants to achieve, and adjustments are made along the way if something isn’t working.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter skill coaching, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between appointments.
