How Rebecca’s Approaches Work Online

Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT focuses on changing patterns that keep problems like anxiety and depression going, and it often includes homework between sessions to practice new skills.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and pace. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions. Solution-focused therapy is part of her toolkit too; it keeps sessions practical by identifying short-term steps and immediate changes that matter most to the client.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Rebecca works with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what helps in real life rather than sticking to one set method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and use visual tools. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer a flexible way to keep momentum between visits or to share quick updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different ways of communicating as the work progresses.
