About Rebecca
Rebecca Murray is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, compassion fatigue, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports people coping with life changes and workplace strain.
Rebecca uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also incorporates trauma-focused methods and Internal Family Systems ideas when those fit the situation.
Appointments are focused on what is happening now and what can be done next. Sessions may include skills practice, problem-solving, and talking through painful memories when needed. Rebecca aims to help clients develop clearer boundaries, reduce overwhelm, and build more manageable routines.
She often works with people who face control issues, family of origin wounds, forgiveness or guilt struggles, and the emotional fallout of loss or hospice care. First responder issues, domestic violence histories, and panic or mood disorders are also areas she addresses in clinical work.
Rebecca approaches therapy in a direct, respectful manner. She encourages clients to try small experiments between sessions. Over time the focus can shift from coping to planning for next steps and making decisions that fit daily life.
Her practice is based in Illinois and sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods in her work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy and EMDR approaches are used to process painful memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions when those methods are appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals, history, and preferences and collaborate with the client to choose which methods to use. This is a shared process that can change as needs evolve over time.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time on high-stress days. Therapists can also adjust pacing, homework, and in-session exercises to suit remote meetings so therapy fits daily life without large disruptions.
