Approaches that guide online sessions

Rebecca often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice how thoughts and behaviors interact. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits by teaching practical ways to test and change patterns. She also works from an attachment-based perspective, which looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and responding, helpful for relationship concerns and abandonment themes.

Client-centered methods are part of how she meets people where they are, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space for people to set goals. Together the therapist and client decide which approaches fit best, and the plan can change as needs evolve. This collaborative process helps align techniques with the person’s values and life situation.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting care into busy days, reducing travel time, and making it easier to check in during a break at work or between appointments. Rebecca will help identify a rhythm and approach that fits the client’s goals and routines.
