How therapeutic approaches inform remote work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the client's lead and centers their goals and experiences, which can help with self-esteem, grief, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It uses practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for strong emotional reactions, anger, and problems with relationships.

Rebecca will work collaboratively to identify which approach, or combination of approaches, best fits each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She notes that finding the right style is part of the process and will adjust care based on progress and feedback.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The biography mentions some Saturday phone sessions and evening text sessions offered by request; clients should ask whether those options suit their schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into workdays, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid camera use at times. Confirm specific session formats and scheduling details when arranging the first appointment.
