Her goal is for clients to find more joy and fulfillment. She invites people to take the next step when they are ready and to set a pace that fits their life.
How Rebecca’s Approaches Work Remotely
Rebecca often uses client-centered work that focuses on what the person wants and values, helping conversations stay grounded in the client’s goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behavior. Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong emotions, then learn ways to respond that improve connection and reduce overwhelm.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca treats this as a collaboration - she listens to your goals and suggests methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can try different techniques and adjust what you do as you learn what helps.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that match a work or caregiving schedule. Some people prefer shorter remote check-ins when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter time is easier to arrange. Ask about session options when you schedule so you can choose what fits your routine.
