Rebecca Dries

Rebecca Dries is a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She works with adults across a range of concerns, including bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, trauma, and career-related stress. Rebecca practices in Delaware and conducts sessions in English.

Rebecca draws on five years of clinical experience to tailor counseling to each person. She begins by listening without judgment and lets the client's goals guide the process. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings, such as trying new coping strategies or noticing unhelpful thinking patterns.

Her main approach is client-centered therapy, which means she emphasizes the client's perspective and priorities. Rebecca also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift thinking that contributes to distress. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing tools are added when they match a person’s goals.

Rebecca has experience supporting people facing complex trauma and severe or persistent mental health diagnoses. She aims to create an inclusive space for LGBTQ individuals and those affected by compassion fatigue. Her background includes a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University and the credential LPMHC.

People who work with Rebecca can expect clear, straightforward discussion and collaborative planning. She encourages small measurable steps and regular check-ins to track progress. To begin, follow the site’s matching and scheduling process so the first appointment can be arranged.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Rebecca uses client-centered therapy to keep the focus on each person’s goals and priorities, helping them set usable steps and make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to find patterns of thinking and behavior that increase distress, then try concrete changes and practice new skills between sessions. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help reduce reactivity and strengthen present-moment awareness, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and managing mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best given their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time based on what helps most, and she checks in regularly to adjust the course.

If you are considering online therapy here, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove travel time. Online work still focuses on practical tools - identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing coping strategies, and setting small goals to try between meetings.
