She works with people facing mood disorders, anxiety, stress, anger, self-esteem concerns, and questions about life purpose.

She began her career as a licensed music therapist in 2003 and later expanded into social work.

Her background brings both creative and clinical perspectives to sessions.
Rebecca describes her style as interactive and client-centered. She listens for what a person needs from therapy and uses that to shape treatment planning. Her work draws on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive methods to address thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behavior.
In practice she focuses on practical skills alongside exploration of family of origin issues and communication problems. She also addresses first responder stress, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and challenges linked to intellectual disability or autism spectrum differences. The emphasis is on identifying workable strategies and clearer next steps.
People who reach out for help with feeling stuck after a life change can expect conversations about values, behavior, and daily routines. Rebecca helps break down problems into manageable parts and supports clients as they test new ways of coping.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Rebecca uses several evidence-based techniques that translate well to conversational sessions. Cognitive-behavioral methods focus on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. This approach can help with panic, phobias, and everyday stress by building concrete coping skills.Humanistic-influenced work centers on listening to what matters to the person and clarifying values and life purpose. It supports people who feel stuck after job, relationship, or health changes by helping them name priorities and make practical adjustments. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice recurring patterns rooted in family of origin and long-term relationships, which can clarify why certain reactions keep happening.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what works. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to use and when to shift focus.
