How Rebecca’s approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name goals and choose next steps. This approach helps when someone needs a place to sort feelings and decide what matters most.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Rebecca uses it to help people test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. It can be practical for anxiety, depression, and stress related to work or parenting.

Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change. It uses gentle, goal-focused questions to build motivation and identify personally meaningful steps forward.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. The focus is on working together to discover what helps most for a client's situation.
