How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches Rebecca uses online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working from the client’s goals. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps organize thinking and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It gives practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation and better communication. It is useful when strong emotions or relationship patterns get in the way of daily life. Rebecca draws from these approaches to tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances change.
