How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online care

Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when helping people online. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it helps with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the person is supported to find their own solutions and build confidence.

Rebecca also draws on Cognitive Behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress. CBT tools are useful for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and shifting unhelpful habits. She treats finding the right mix of approaches as a team effort and will work together with clients to choose methods that match their needs and goals.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist will help shape a plan that fits your schedule and life demands. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about pacing, goal setting, and which techniques would be most useful for your situation.
