About Rebecca
Rebecca Montez is a California licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also focuses on women's issues such as postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and problems related to divorce or abandonment.
Rebecca helps people talk through what feels overwhelming and unclear after big changes in work, relationships, or health. She uses everyday language and practical steps in sessions. She encourages honest conversation about guilt, shame, social anxiety, and the effects of past sexual assault or trauma.
In the therapy room she aims to build a setting where people can speak openly and honestly without fearing judgment. Sessions often look like exploring recent struggles, identifying patterns that keep someone stuck, and trying small experiments to test new ways of coping. She supports work on self-love, confidence, and finding clearer direction when life feels stalled.
Rebecca brings experience across multicultural concerns and panic-related conditions, and she helps people manage symptoms so they can function better day to day. She also supports people through family-related stress and parenting transitions such as postpartum depression.
Practical steps for starting are straightforward: choose the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Rebecca uses evidence-based techniques online
Rebecca draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical coping skills. One common approach involves cognitive strategies to identify and reframe thoughts that worsen anxiety or depression; this helps with panic attacks, social anxiety, and persistent negative self-talk. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed methods that focus on stabilizing symptoms, managing triggers, and processing past abuse at a pace the client can tolerate.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at current problems, goals, and comfort with different methods. Together they test approaches and adjust work based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, phone sessions use less bandwidth; for others, video sessions help with nonverbal communication. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can plan sessions that fit your routine.
