About Rebecca

Rebecca Jordan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems, anger, career strain, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related struggles such as abandonment and attachment issues. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through hard feelings and begin making small, workable changes.

Rebecca emphasizes practical steps and steady support. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing and usable right now. She listens first, then helps plan doable tools for coping and reflection. That might mean learning new ways to notice thoughts, practicing emotional skills, or trying short behavioral experiments between meetings.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. These methods are used to address mood, relationships, and stress in everyday life rather than as abstract theory. She combines skill teaching with empathetic listening to help people make sense of patterns and try different responses.

Rebecca has seven years of experience as a therapist and a longer background in social work. She works with people across a range of life stages and situations and offers care in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling to make sure they fit your needs.

To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule time according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where direction and motivation matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and changing emotional responses in close relationships; it helps people identify core emotions and build different ways of responding to relational pain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals, then recommend methods to try together. It’s common to combine elements from different approaches so the work fits your needs rather than sticking to a single label.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as session formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from a convenient place. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or audio-only conversations when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and emotional skills practice for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
