Rebecca Swindle, LCSW, LISW

Rebecca Swindle is a licensed clinical social worker in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and many related concerns. She brings nine years of experience and a straightforward, respectful approach to sessions. Rebecca aims to make the first step easier for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

Her sessions focus on practical problem solving and building skills that can be used between meetings. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and change them. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered methods to create a collaborative space where the person's experience guides the work.

Rebecca adapts the plan to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed formula. She mixes skill teaching, motivational strategies, and mindfulness when helpful. That can mean working on mood, sleep, anger, relationship patterns, or coping with life changes.

In sessions she listens without judgment and checks in about what is working. People can expect clear goals, short-term tools, and regular review of progress. Rebecca emphasizes practical steps and steady support.

Her background includes work with people managing co-occurring conditions, ADHD, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, grief, and first responder concerns. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and provides care in English from Ohio.

How Rebecca blends approaches for online care

Rebecca commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, panic, and obsessive thoughts because it focuses on concrete skills and experiments.

She also works from an attachment-based perspective that looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional responses. That approach can help with relationship patterns, trust, and emotion regulation. In session she follows a client-centered stance as well, which means the person’s goals and experiences guide the pace and focus of therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will collaborate on goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The choice of techniques is tailored to symptoms, life context, and what feels most useful to the client.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick check-ins, notes between sessions, and more flexible scheduling. Those options make it simpler to keep consistency and use skills in daily life.
