About Rebecca
Rebecca Shaughnessy, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), is licensed in Alabama and has five years of clinical experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, relationship problems, and career or financial stressors. Her approach is collaborative and client-centered. She describes therapy as guided problem solving rather than telling people what to do.
Rebecca uses an integrative, client-centered style that draws on several practical methods. Sessions focus on identifying small, workable steps clients can take between meetings. She emphasizes looking for strengths and building routines that reduce symptoms and increase functioning over time.
Her work often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based ideas. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and clarify what matters most to them. Solution-focused techniques are used for brief, goal-oriented work when clients want concrete change in a short time.
Rebecca aims for straightforward conversation in session. She listens, reflects what she hears, and suggests exercises or behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping. This may include thought records, values clarification, or focused problem solving depending on the concern.
Clients looking to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. She provides services in English and does not take international clients.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions that align with those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and anxiety symptoms.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how they respond to initial exercises. Together they adjust methods so the work fits the client's needs and short-term goals.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Practical benefits of doing work remotely include easier scheduling, fitting sessions around work or family commitments, and having shorter check-ins when needed. Online methods can make it simpler to continue weekly work during life changes and to use homework and in-the-moment exercises between sessions.
