Rebecca Heald, LMHC

Rebecca Heald is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings 11 years of clinical experience to her practice in Florida. She focuses on practical ways to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and handle life changes. Rebecca speaks English and works with people who want clear steps and tools to feel steadier day to day.

She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice patterns of thought and shift toward actions that match their values. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used to build skills for coping, staying present, and moving past stuck points. Trauma-focused work is offered when past events are getting in the way of current life.

Rebecca helps people set realistic goals and break them into small, doable steps. Sessions emphasize simple exercises, homework you can try between meetings, and checking what actually helps. She explains ideas in plain language and keeps sessions goal-oriented and practical.

Her clinical background includes work with concerns like depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, relationship and family problems, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, sleep difficulties, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Rebecca also supports people exploring sexuality, self-love, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and life purpose.

Therapy begins with identifying a few priorities and building a plan together. Rebecca aims to make progress feel measurable so people leave sessions with clear next steps and tools they can use between meetings.

How Rebecca’s Approaches Work Online

Rebecca commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to shift them, which helps with anxiety, sleep issues, and mood. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while moving toward a life that matters to them.

Mindfulness therapy is also part of her toolkit and is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These approaches translate well to remote work because they rely on short practices, skill-building, and structured exercises that can be assigned between sessions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Rebecca will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts plans so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to continue work on goals without major disruption to daily life.
