About Rebecca

Rebecca Marrs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with ten years of experience in mental health. She works with people who bring concerns such as anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and issues related to parenting and self-esteem. Sessions begin with an intake where she asks about what brought someone to therapy and what goals they want to work toward.

Her style is conversational and goal-focused. Rebecca uses a mental status check as part of the intake and collaborates with each person to set clear therapeutic, personal, and professional goals. She invites clients to have input at every step so plans reflect their priorities.

Rebecca has worked across many settings including homes, schools, community sites, agencies, and office practice. Her experience includes supporting people from foster care and adoption backgrounds and those facing medical challenges, LGBTQIA+ concerns, separation, divorce, and court-ordered work. She has worked with individuals who have been diagnosed with conditions such as major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and adjustment-related difficulties.

In sessions she draws on client-centered methods alongside tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused approaches when they fit a person’s goals. That mix helps address immediate problems and longer-term patterns that keep difficulties going.

People who reach out can expect practical conversation, clear goals, and regular check-ins on progress. Rebecca aims to help people notice what is getting in the way and build skills to manage stress, handle social or relationship challenges, and cope with life changes.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. It helps people clarify goals and feel that their priorities shape each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and insomnia. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be useful for anxiety and coping with strong emotions. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will work with the client to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made. That means techniques may shift during the early sessions to find what helps most. Confirm the exact online session options before booking, because formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people find video helps maintain connection while others prefer audio for lower bandwidth or less on-screen time. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and choose a format that supports the client’s goals.
