About Rebecca
Rebecca Levenson-Smith is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland with 11 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and grief. The profile highlights social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas along with trauma, depression, and coping with life changes.
Before training as a counselor she taught high school students with emotional and behavioral disorders and has a background in art. That practical experience shaped how she approaches behavior and communication in everyday settings. Her early work included school-based and in-home services as well as community mental health roles.
Her clinical work has involved many settings and client situations. She has worked with individual adults, groups, couples, adolescents, and children, drawing on several therapeutic methods as needed. Rebecca describes using cognitive behavioral strategies alongside approaches that attend to emotions and attachment patterns.
In sessions she aims to help people gain clearer insight into what is causing distress and then learn concrete ways to cope. That can mean practicing new ways of responding to anxiety, improving communication in relationships, or developing tools to manage mood and stress. She emphasizes collaborating with clients to set realistic goals and track progress.
Rebecca’s background in education and community mental health informs a practical, hands-on style. She combines talking, skill practice, and attention to relationship patterns to help people make manageable changes. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rebecca uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and practice small behavior changes that reduce anxiety symptoms. CBT is practical and helps with fears like social anxiety by teaching step-by-step exposure and coping skills.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to act despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. ACT can help people tolerate anxious moments while pursuing meaningful activities.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made, and she checks in regularly to adapt the plan.
