Dr. Rebecca Thompson, CA Psychologist 20610

Dr. Rebecca Thompson is a California licensed clinical psychologist (CA Psychologist 20610) with 25 years of practice. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, attention differences, and changes in work or relationships. Sessions address practical problems and life purpose concerns that arise after major changes or upsetting events.

Her background is in neuropsychology, and she uses that perspective to link thinking, feeling, and behavior in clear terms. She listens to each person’s experience and offers ideas grounded in what she has observed about the brain and behavior. That viewpoint helps when symptoms involve attention, memory, or reaction to injury or trauma.

In session she offers straightforward guidance and collaborative planning. She explains options, suggests steps to try, and helps people set realistic goals they can measure. She does not do the work for clients but supports them as they test new strategies and notice what changes.

Her approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy, which she uses to address symptoms like panic, post-traumatic stress, and ongoing anxiety. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, and recovery after brain injury.

People who come to her for help often need structure around coping and clear tools for everyday problems. She draws on clinical experience and life experience to make suggestions that fit normal routines. Those wanting practical, evidence-informed work on stress, purpose, or recovery may find this approach useful.
