Rebekah Verdugo, LICSW

Rebekah Verdugo is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, stress, relationship struggles, trauma, and related mood concerns. She is a LICSW practicing in Washington and brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens without judgment and helps people name what feels overwhelming. Together they build small, doable steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Rebekah uses talk-based work and evidence-informed tools to address patterns that keep people stuck.

Rebekah often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behavior. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and values-based action. Motivational Interviewing and a client-centered stance guide conversations about change and readiness.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals such as managing panic, reducing compulsive behaviors, improving communication, or coping with life transitions. She supports work on substance and alcohol concerns, codependency, and compassion fatigue as part of broader treatment plans. Practical skills, homework between sessions, and steady tracking of progress are common parts of her work.

Rebekah offers services in English and provides appointments by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and availability and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approach options and online therapy

Rebekah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in real life. CBT is useful for panic, phobias, obsessive habits, and general anxiety by breaking problems into manageable parts.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and commit to small actions that matter, even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centered Therapy informs her manner in sessions, emphasizing listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are in their change process.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Methods can be adjusted over time so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat works for brief check-ins or when flexibility is needed. These options make it easier to schedule regular work and keep momentum between meetings.
