How her approaches translate to online work
Rebecca often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening carefully and following what matters most to the person, which helps shape session goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical exercises to test new ways of responding to social situations and anxiety.She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas when relationship patterns are part of the concern. That approach helps identify interaction patterns and supports clearer communication between partners or within close relationships. Together these approaches give a mix of practical skills and attention to emotions and stories that shape behavior.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Rebecca will help clients decide what to try first based on their goals and preferences, and adapt methods as progress is made. This is a collaborative process so clients have input on what feels useful.
