About Rebekah
Rebekah Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Maine with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She says she provides support and helps people find solutions that lead to positive change.
She describes her approach as creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Rebekah uses several methods in her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These approaches guide how she talks through problems and helps people learn new ways to cope.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps and clear goals. She helps people break worries into manageable parts and practices skills that can be used between meetings. She also addresses patterns that come from family history and attachment, and she supports people working through trauma and abuse.
Rebekah works with concerns related to parenting, blended family issues, adoption and foster care topics, and family of origin problems. She also assists people dealing with substance use, codependency, dissociation, and personality-related struggles.
Her practice includes coaching-style work for career or life changes and support for compassion fatigue. She asks new clients to complete intake steps before the first session so they can start with clear goals.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Rebekah draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice concrete behavior changes that reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences with each person and then decide together which methods to emphasize. Sessions are collaborative and adjust as goals evolve.
The practical advantages of remote sessions depend on the formats currently offered. The biography does not list session formats explicitly, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use the same therapeutic techniques they use in person, adapted to an online setting to help people practice skills and track progress between sessions.
