About Rebecca
Rebecca Holland is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and issues around motivation and confidence. Her focus also includes trauma, grief, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and panic attacks.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, manageable behavior changes. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness.
In conversation she helps people name patterns that get in the way of feeling more stable. She talks through daily routines, coping tools, and ways to handle upsetting moments. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, and caregiver stress in concrete steps rather than abstract concepts.
Rebecca believes clients bring useful strengths to therapy and works with those strengths to set realistic goals. She supports people processing trauma, post-traumatic stress, postpartum depression, and grief by pacing work to what feels manageable. She also offers support for substance use and addictive behaviors alongside coping skills.
Her approach is collaborative and skill-focused. Sessions emphasize practicing strategies between meetings, checking what helped, and adjusting approaches over time. Rebecca practices in Illinois and conducts work in English.
How her therapeutic methods translate to online work
Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in session. CBT helps by breaking down stressful situations into thoughts and actions, then testing small changes to see what works. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be practiced between meetings.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice moments of tension and respond with simple grounding techniques. These practices are short exercises that can be used during daily life to reduce reactivity and build steadier routines.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their situation. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed, so the plan can change based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel, or use shorter check-ins when time is limited. Therapists can also suggest exercises to practice between appointments so skills carry over into everyday situations.
