About Rebekah

Rebekah Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and related concerns. Rebekah also addresses issues such as eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She uses a mix of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people name what’s going on and try different ways of coping. In sessions she listens, asks clear questions, and helps people build skills they can use at home. She aims to help clients notice patterns, try out new responses, and decide what fits their life.

Rebekah often works on problems rooted in family history, adoption and foster care experiences, blended family issues, and codependency. She also supports adults managing substance concerns, dissociation, traumatic loss, and adjustments after disasters. Her practice includes attention to avoidant or dependent personality patterns and commitment concerns.

Sessions focus on real-world steps. That might mean behavior experiments, values-based goals, managing strong emotions, or improving communication. Rebekah frames work as a collaboration where the client’s goals guide which methods are used.

She practices in English and sees clients in Maine. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session via the online options on the site.

How sessions work

How Rebekah’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed actions that match those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood problems, and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist and client do together. Rebekah will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful. The early sessions are an opportunity to see which strategies fit the client’s preferences and daily life.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow sessions during a lunch break or between other obligations. It can also let someone choose audio-only check-ins when bandwidth or a quick weekly update is needed. Ask about the available formats when completing the matching questionnaire so you know which options are offered for scheduling.
