Rebecca Marrs, LMFT

Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with ten years of experience in the mental health field. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting questions, and issues tied to identity and intimacy.

She uses a straightforward intake to learn why someone has sought therapy. The intake includes a mental status check and a conversation about personal and professional goals. Sessions are collaborative - the client has a say in treatment choices and pacing.

Rebecca has worked across a range of settings, including schools, community programs, agency settings, clients' homes, and an office practice. Her background brings contact with people who have experience of foster care, adoption, separation and divorce, medical illness, and LGBTQ issues. She is familiar with common diagnoses that people mention when they start therapy.

In session she draws on client-centered methods alongside practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed approaches when they fit a person's goals. That means sessions can include skill practice, reflection, and short-term planning as well as deeper work on past hurts.

Rebecca aims to keep language plain and to make therapy feel like a practical tool. She invites adults struggling with family or parenting stress, grief, or life transitions to describe what they want to change and to set reasonable next steps together.
