Rebecca Dries, LPMHC

Rebecca Dries is a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC) based in Delaware. She focuses on helping adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or major life changes. Rebecca writes plainly, listens carefully, and helps people make practical steps forward.

She uses a person-centered approach that starts with where a client is now. That means sessions begin with the client's goals and move at a pace that feels manageable. Rebecca also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and build more useful habits.

Her methods include mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and motivational interviewing to support change. Rebecca has five years of clinical experience working with adults and has supported people with mood conditions, trauma, addictions, and LGBTQ concerns. She aims to create an accepting space that respects each person's background.

Rebecca earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University and holds national counselor recognition as a National Certified Counselor. She tailors treatment plans to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill practice, and steps the client can use between meetings.

Rebecca welcomes questions about how therapy would work for specific concerns and can explain what a typical session looks like. Her style is direct but warm, and she emphasizes collaboration and gradual progress.

How Rebecca blends approaches for online counseling

Rebecca often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to help people working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting the person where they are, which helps people feel heard and begin to set realistic goals.

She also uses mindfulness practices to teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. Together these approaches are used flexibly; Rebecca will talk with each person about what fits their situation and adjust methods based on goals and preferences, so finding the right mix is a collaborative process.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills with demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between sessions.
