About Rebecca

Rebecca Ness is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience supporting adults through major life transitions. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges that arise during midlife. Rebecca aims to help people regain a sense of control and clarity when life feels overwhelming.

Her background includes extensive work in cancer centers, guiding patients from diagnosis through treatment and into post-treatment or end-of-life phases. That work taught her how illness changes daily life, relationships, and identity, and she also welcomes people coping with other chronic conditions.

Rebecca offers focused help around sexual health and intimacy, particularly female sexual health. She supports people who want to reconnect with their bodies, address sexual difficulties, and improve communication with partners. She approaches these topics with practical strategies and straightforward conversation.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. She uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities and solution-focused methods to set clear, achievable goals. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are used to help people notice patterns and reframe their stories.

Rebecca encourages small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life. She believes people carry strengths that can be mobilized to face change. To begin, readers can use the site to submit a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the listed options and timing.

Practical approaches for online care and midlife change

Rebecca uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities, creating space for what matters most in a person's life and decisions. This approach helps when people feel unheard or unsure about how to move forward.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice stress responses and build small habits that reduce overwhelm. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with chronic illness and pain.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with the person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. She often blends methods so sessions focus on achievable steps and clearer perspective.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, avoid travel, and check in during transitional periods. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions that emphasize listening and planning without needing lengthy in-person visits.
