About Rebecca
Rebecca Holland is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing everyday strains at home such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting challenges. She also addresses relationship tension, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and mood disorders.
Rebecca treats people as the experts on their own lives. She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Conversations tend to be direct and focused on what is happening now and what changes a person wants to make.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. That means she helps people notice thought patterns, build coping skills, and develop simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.
Sessions often include practicing new skills, reviewing how those skills went during the week, and adjusting techniques to fit a person’s routine. Rebecca pays attention to how family roles, caregiving stress, and relationship patterns affect mood and behavior.
She encourages small, achievable steps that fit into a busy life. Many people come with concerns about parenting, communication problems, or feeling isolated, and the work focuses on practical tools for those situations.
How sessions work
How Rebecca uses CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness online
Rebecca often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors by breaking problems into clear steps.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills are helpful when strong emotions or avoidance make routine life harder. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and improve sleep and focus through simple, short practices.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals and try techniques together, adjusting methods based on what fits the client's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talking about practical scheduling and how sessions will fit into home life is part of the first conversations.
